when I said like window tint I ment the soapy water part. spray around rubber .

Dam it you even got a spare alum wheel also? you got five then right? is that spare a front or back wheel?

[PureLuck88]

just woundering if you got that back window in yet?

[BGRAFX]

I found out the hard way that the glass goes into the rubber then after a 6pack of budlight and a bunch of lube I finally got it in the hole. Yes my wheels are aluminum and the spare is for the front, so that's 7wheels total.

[PureLuck88]

well glad to here you got the window in.
ok you got me. ment that style alum wheel

[PureLuck88]

or are all 7 alum wheels?

[BGRAFX]

Pureluck do you know what brand rims we've got? How did you paint the inside of each hole red? And what brand tires are you running? I know they are 225/60r16s and yours is a 6/8 drop. Its looks good!

?? the wheels I believe are keystone? but they don't make anymore. I can't find any info on them been looking for 6/7 years.

how I painted them was masked both sides of the wheel completely then used hobby razor knife and cut out holes then sanded inside of holes with 220grit paper. I used high temp paint from oreillys.

front tires are bridgestone potenza go19 grid because of stiff side wall the back are fuzion hri's. The front tires have 50psi the back have 40psi

that would have been a long drive to bring you gas

[PureLuck88]

back window in the picture looks good

[Driveway Dreams]

Looks nice with the window in it man! So after gauges, you gonna drop it?

[BGRAFX]

gerald one step at a time, eventually it will be alot closer to the ground.

My wiring is still the 74 setup. So swapping a new harness in will be a major improvement.
LMC is having saturday seminars in there parking lot and this weeks was a duplicolor demonstration. So here are my newly revamped sun visors. The interior trim and door panels will be next.

It could be the plastic circuit board on the back of the gauges

[BGRAFX]

how will I know if its just the circuit? or old wiring?

what % of tint is on your windows??

[JohnC]

Talk to Joe231. He messed with a few of the gauge clusters when he was working on the one for his 80.
