FYI FORD MustangSteve's Ford Mustang Forum / New rims arrived

**Posted by RTM** 7/02/2024 3:20 PM

Well three of the four arrived. The other front is supposed to arrive this Friday. Tires arrive tomorrow and I can’t wait to get them mounted. I think the overall look is spot on with my build.

I really like the look of those wheels. Hopefully the fourth arrives on time and you have no issues until you wear out the tires.

Very similar to the wheels I have. Nice!

Looks like the other rim is going to arrive today. I’m super excited to get the tires mounted and get them on the car. Think I have to lower the front a little more.

Was thinking of painting the lettering in the spinners blue to help make it stand out or a color that matches the wheels.

Drive it around a bit before making any decisions about ride height. Springs need to take a set.

I’m a few months away from driving it.

I had three packages coming from Summit. I thought each pair of tires would be one package. I was wrong. The rear tires were each a package of their own. My front tires won’t be here until Tuesday. I do have an appointment to get the rear tires mounted this Saturday morning.

The tires and boxes for the rims are at our front door. The dining room is wide open to the front door.

Our son is in the marines so I have all the other painted parts in his bedroom along with the new windshield.

Now I have built an engine inside of a house before on an engine stand.

Parts in the house. Reminds me of when I built the Speedster I had various parts under our bed. Jean still won't let me forget. She drew the line thought when I wanted to hang Henry's picture in the bedroom.

Bullet Bob I’m pretty sure my wife would not allowed to hand a picture of He ry in our bedroom either. Lol

RPM that brings back memories. Last time I did that it was when I rebuilt a 460 for the 79 Bronco I had at that time. Backed the Bronco up to the front porch and pretty much wheeled it out of the house, onto the porch and into the back of the Bronco. Good times.

Oh and in this same house I had my very first engine I was building in my bedroom. I didn’t build this engine in the house but had everything in my bedroom, engine block and all on the second floor. That was a bear getting that engine block up and down the stairs.

A guy I worked with years ago had a Corvette and removed all four wheels and brought them into the kitchen to clean them (it was winter time). This was one of the reasons his wife stated in the divorce papers.

Car parts belong in the garage - with the car, not in the house. Wife Law # 21.

Huh... that just might be why I'm single with two ex wives. I don't get that wife rule things.

Not only do I have car parts in the house I also have 9 bicycles in the house. No room in the garage for them. They are very expensive bikes.

I got a notice the last rim has been delivered.

Problem is with everything going up in price and the interest rates, it’s just to expensive to buy. If we were to buy a bigger place, then I couldn’t afford to work on the mustangs.

At the tire shop now getting the back tires mounted on the rims.
