    Default New Wheels + Tint + Wash = Not so ugly beater

    I decided since I am going to have to drive the truck around for a couple of weeks more until I can find another project I might as well give it a minor face lift. I picked up these wheels from a guy locally for $40. They where a little rusty. Orig. they were gold in the middle with a chrome lip. I tried to salvage the chrome lip and was going to paint the inside black but after several hours of scrubbing/sanding/polishing they just didnt look right. So... with a couple of cans of rattle paint and some clear that task was accomplished. I provided an old pick to see the stockers that were on it. They had no lip so they had to go!

    I got the tint done at a place locally in savannah called PRO - TINT! These guys were AWESOME! They were quick and reasonable. They have been in business since 1999 and treated me right. It was $140 for the back glass and two sides. I got 20 on the rear and 35 on the doors. Anywho..

    I also decided it was time for a wash and a fluid flush. So with some new coolant and a fresh oil change she is ready for many more miles! Not to shabby for a 1994 F150 eh.. Bought it from orig. owner with only 120,000 on the ticker! AMAZING A/C and she rides comfortably with power everything! Anywho.. Shes for sale for the right offer- but thats a diff. story.







    stockers in the top left corner!
