Project Ru5tyNut5

[Ru5tyNut5]

so far all my wheel painting has been on wheels that are not going to be used on the truck much longer, I plan to run stock steel wheels on it once they are painted and I get some tires for them. The ones I've been painting will be my spare set or something like that. started playing with one of the wheels I will be using, went with flat black for now.

primered


finished

didn't even know about them, they're the same bolt pattern? you got a set I can have? I see you don't live too far away.

[CHIZZLER]

here are some pics. dodge wheels are 5x5.5 so you need to run adapters. i got thes on e bay shipped for $310.

I'd have to paint the entire side wall white, gotta have me some fat whites.

[Ru5tyNut5]

you gonna be takin your truck to some of the local shows? there's a ton this summer. there's 1 this coming sunday, then 3 the following weekend.

[CHIZZLER]

i really like the fat white walls. still working on painting these. i got the tires used from a shop on 82nd for $120 bucks.

[CHIZZLER]

are you talking about the bomber this weekend.

[Ru5tyNut5]

no, there's one at a church in Woodland Wa this weekend, then next weekend there's one on Sandy, one in Milwaukie, one in Gresham, and one I forgot about up here in Vancouver, I'm sure there's others I don't know about too.

[CHIZZLER]

sweet. ive been following your build.let me know if i can help.

[Ru5tyNut5]

you can help any time you like, I'll never turn down help...I kinda "blew my load" on the whole air bag thing though, that **** gets expensive quick, so I don't know how much I'll be doing on it for awhile due to lack of funds. I will need to yank the hood off and swap out the fenders one of these days.

[CHIZZLER]

i always hunt craigslist for parts. like every day. i really try not to pay retail for anything .

[Ru5tyNut5]

yea, I watch craigslist quite a bit but it don't do any good when you ain't got no money.

[Ru5tyNut5]

you got a timing light, I need to advance my timing like 5 degrees or something

[CHIZZLER]

i here that.kids cryin,later.

most of it came from a drop shipper for airbagit, it was mostly on ebay and way cheaper than going to airbagit directly, but still shipped from airbagit. the compressors were not from ebay, they were from a company called
AVS I think.
