good platform? any leaf sprung ford ever made is a candidate for a simple swap. or anything that you can fit leaf springs under. my vote goes to a ford festiva on a shortened bronco II frame with a 460 rammed into it

Ah but hell Dan, lets take this over to the other thread so I don't upset Kirby by hijacking his thread. Hadn't intended to.

I do the spray torch thing.... 
Or you run the rim with brake cleaner and continue it on the ground to make a trail so your not too close.
Usually have 3 people to do it. One to spray, one to light, and one with water if it doesn't seat.

This is a picture of my 40,000lb. MRAP a few weeks ago after it rained the night before. Even after we got back to our fob and had been riding at 60mph the tires were still full of mud. Again, I'm not an expert; just giving my opinion and experience. Good luck on the build.
