I think he did, he custom mixed the colors of the banana and peach to come up with the orange.

**ChiefRocka** · 01-28-2011, 12:58 AM

The wheels are actually red...but in the pics they do look orange for some reason...

I picked up some these 15x8`s...had them sandblasted...then repaired the lips (some just needed minor sanding, while others needed some welding/grinding/pounding)

Rattle primer...then Rattle OSH paint....

Wow ... I see alot of unfamiliar faces on here now....I`ve been gone since mid Nov due to a small house fire that has put me off the grid for a long time...except for my ghetto texter phone that really sucks....I`ll be homw soon...then I`ll post a full story in `general` about my streak of bad luck...

"Chief who" wow that hurts.....

some of you might remember the "rock-a-billy"...do a search....miss that truck....

See ya all soon....

Yeah....those are the 70`s truck/blazer/sub 4x4 wheel. I wanted a cheap 15x8 steelie for some staggered BFG WW`s my buddy hooked me up with. Got an idea for a cover to hide all the holes in the wheel for a smoothie look...

Pops is upstairs man ... thanks

Good to have you back around John! Yep, a bunch of new faces here.

Heater63 · 01-30-2011, 02:00 AM

The fire you will overcome, Sorry to hear you lost your pops.

Glad your back. I like your work. Hope the future holds good things for you.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 01-30-2011, 11:46 AM

At least you did something with it. I did set the engine in my truck just for wiring mock up but still need to paint the firewall.
My friend lost his mother 3 days before Christmas. You are not alone.

**Captainfab** · 01-31-2011, 01:24 AM

Sorry to hear about your Pops John. I hope you didn't loose any irreplaceable personal belongings in the fire.

It's good to see you back and looking forward to seeing some updates on that '63
