New to me wheels

[durghon]

Love Craiglist. On a budget and needed one tire. Found 4 15x10 rim, 3 of them mounted with 33x12.5x.15 BGF mud for 50 bucks. Score!

Those are the EXACT wheels that I have on my 62 - and exactly what I want to do with them. I feel a little better about my plan now... of course, mine are pitted and rusty as H#LL...!

Well then .... Start sanding. I just went hand power and used scotch-brite pads to remove the rust on mine. M3/scotch-brite drill pads would have been much faster.

FYI Didnt' tape up, just used cheap playing cards from 99cent store (discovered while google'ing)

Before clearcoat:

Nice! Black wheels look great on 60s. If I couldn't find wheels that looked damn near stock, I would've gone for black.

Love the playing card trick too. That's awesome.
