Thank you Lyle!
Well I chucked up my 12mm deep socket again, mounted the front tires on it one by one and spun 'em up a piece of sandpaper to give the tread that worn look like I did on my Challenger build.
Here's the Challenger tire mounted up on the drill:
After that I shot a coat of dull coat on the sidewalls of the tires and mounted my wheels on 'em:
Here's the tires and wheels for this build after all the sandpaper and dull coating:( the funny thing is that you can't see any of the coverage problems on the wheels with the naked eye. If I were going off of these pics I'd start over on the wheels. Believe me, they look a helluva lot better in person)
Then I started back on the motor a little. I sanded the distributor cap down a little on the top and started drilling holes to put the ignition wires in to:
Hopefully I get a good bench session again tomorrow.
