Sandblasted rims and painted with Endura paint. They'll be good for a long time now!
New tires and new metal valve stems just in case the hubcaps want to walk, but they should be okay as now I have 5 Packard rims. (Before the car had 2 non-Packard rims.) Little by little my parts car is paying for itself.
Couple of questions: -How does the spare fasten in? -Where does the jack and wrench get stored? -There are 2 drain holes in the bottom of the spare tire tub. Should there be something to cover those to prevent dust getting into the trunk? -I don't have any intention of using the factory jack if I ever needed to change a flat tire, but what does everyone carry for a jack? Maybe scissor jack? Or do you just carry your AMA card?
