A weekend that begins as I like them.
Front axle brake pipe closed.
Wheel bearing adjustment.
Brake adjustment, bolt-on wheels.

Mighty Fine!!
Definitely looking awful good...

Oh, and by the way that wheel dolly sure is a nice tool to have. In particularly when you have a nice concrete floor to work on.

At 400 lb-ft you have to put the tire on the ground.

I do have a ten cent question...

You have done well grasshopper - but what about this paint? You are going to stick another 4 tires onto those Budd inner nuts. You will of course paint the rims on the inside so they don't rust. Then the new lug nuts, then paint everything.

What's gonna happen when the paint isn't quite dry and everything sticks together like it was superglued?

Not that it doesn't look simply fantastic... I just have to ask.

All the inside of the rims have been painted since October 14, 2022 (Page 10) as well as the wheel hubs and the twin wheel contact surface are also primed.
I applied a light veil of paint on the surface in contact and once dry a layer of grease.
I go all the way back to the grease and all the contacts.
It's not over, I have a surprise for you.

Where in the world are you? I didn't see any snow in your pictures during the winter so it must be somewhere mild
