Before/After pics

Yeah, I've been thinking that too. I had these Avid S/Ts mounted with the OWL side in, but that was before I realized the blackwall side has this postmodern swoopy-patterened appearance. If I ever buy one of those home tire mounting machines I might switch them around, but I can't see paying 40 or 50 dollars to do it.

I like the modern sidewall on the Yokos. I thought about coloring the Yokohama script white. I think that'd look better than the bland RWL side.

That being said, I'm not a fan of white letters, so I never did it.

My Dad happens to have a Coats 20/20 pneumatic tire changer (1970's vintage). Bring your rims by Michael, I'd be more than happy to swap them over for ya. Its just a short ride, right...

Man 87CP that wagon was originally a steel side? I never even thought they made CP's in steelsides. Nice.

You know I have to throw down on this. lol

Yep, far as I can tell. Woodgrain sides are cool, but this way there are fewer holes to fill and no huge vinyl stickers to fade and crack.

Dig that trio of before/during/after pics ... hopefully one day I'll be able to fix the rust and paint the whole thing!

wow Zwack, sure is a magnificent transformation.

[Archangel]

not really.
well..actually...there is a CVNer I know...but I havent talked to him in a while.

You better get to installing those tires I gave you soon, or I'm taking them back for daily driver duty on the front of my truck :p

[Mr. Land Yacht]

lol
yea, I'm gonna swap them on this month or early Dec.

I gotta talk to my uncle about painting the turbines...see how much he wants and hwo long it will take.
I prolly have no time before winter hits.

Say Zwack, have you mentioned anywhere what the name of that deep red color is?

[Archangel]

Zack, I have a suggestion - what about painting the wheels body-color too? You leave the polished aluminum as is, but what's gray becomes toreador red, or whatever that color is called - dunno how hard that would be to accomplish, but you sure got some major talent so I bet you can pull it off.

in the reader's rides thread, its toreador red if memory serves.

And if Marquisman is reading this, those a real wire wheels right? If so, what size are they?

Looks like stock Lincoln wires, 15x7 or 7.5 if I'm not mistaken.

[zwack88]

Thanks yeah it is toreador red. Red buillitts would be cool, I might have to attempt to photoshop it and see what it looks like.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

hey, Zwack...what about red inside the wheel...in between the spokes?...
like this...
