Comstar rims

I have the tank back from Capital Dominion Radiator and they worked on it for a couple weeks.   They steamed it, ran some ball bearings in it, did some more stuff then re-lined it.  They told me to run an inline fuel filter and change if after every tank for 5 tankful of so.  I looked at it with an inspection mirror and from what I can tell it looks good.

The front end was disassembled.  I needed the front wheel to get the tire off. 

That's them on my mess of a tool cart. 

The wheels where taken to work so that Mr. Double J could get the tires off so that I can refinish them.   It seems that my wheels are too thin for the tire machine to do it's thing.  Imagine that, something of mine is too thin,  usually stuff is too fat to fit.  He improvised with a hunk of wood and got the bead breaker to work.  Then he had to get the tire off oldskool style.  Even my fatter rear wheel was to thin so it got the same treatment.  Thanks Mr. Double J!

I'm used to automotive rims and I can't get over how tiny these things are.

A little masking tape, some tough duty enamel paint and voila.

I like it.

While I was shooting black around I painted the headlamp bucket and the stator cover with the same stuff. 

Now for the rear fender.  I have some holes from where the monstrosity of a tail lamp was.  I'll just plug those op with my secret weapon, J B WELD .  I love that sh!t, I put that stuff on everything.

Don't worry, a little sanding and primer and you won't know it's there.  Well you'll know 'cause I just told you, but no one else will know unless you tell them.  Seriously, don't tell them.   Really.
