thanks to jpswift1. got some chrome rims. 2 of the origional ones were bent and 3 were so rusted and pitted i jb welded some holes up on the inside so they would hold air



thanks jeff

Those are going to be a great addition to such an awesome project. Anything less wouldn't have done the paint job any justice.

[295YOOPER]

thanks mike. i did like the look of the white but the rims were shot.they already started to rust again. got it into a roller today

[jpswift1]

Superb,top shelf,first prize,blue ribbon work there! Well done,such a sweet looker.

That is phenomenal. It takes talent to do the planning, assembly, fabrication, paint, and project management to stick to a project of that scale. That is something to be really proud of.

Congratulations
Nick

Talk about momentum. Your build is moving along at full speed. As for test driving it sans seat, I drove hydromike's super swamp Fox without any cushions on it at all when he was building it, and Jpswift and I were driving a max ii around last Saturday that we are putting together without a seat, throttle cable, or even upper tub on it. No-one ever waits for a finished build to drive it around. just get some good video.
