Low budget bling

Not perfect but these rims needed painting. I had a nice weather day to finish them.

Once they cure, new rubber goes on

They look very professional...nothing wrong with low-budget when it looks that good.

Thanks for the kind words on the wheels. It was a process over time from sandblasting, priming and laying on 3 different colors. Then the do overs because of insects stuck in the paint . I am going to let them cure for a week then get the tires mounted. After that I need to pull the rear axles and mount the updated rear dust plates. So close to driving again.

Rear brakes are converted to 2 1/4" shoes and drums.
