Did something I've never done before...and then turned around and did it to my truck.
Waiting on my buddy to email me the pics so I can post them.

Re: Rednose 65...1965 chevy short step-side

Alright...while I'm waiting on pics from my buddy...

You know Extreme Times call for Extreme Measures???
Well times are rough right now and I really want to do all kinds of things to my truck including the Big Fat Whites but because of financial reasons, I may go with the Skinny Whites (which I don't mind at all).

Any how, I was at my buddies yesterday and he also has a 65 Short Bed, but his is a Fleet. He was cleaning his truck out with a grinder using a wire wheel... I noticed he had a few tires laying around with the white lettering. Well I snatched the grinder and started buffing out the tires...needless to say, I went down the street pulled 2 of mine off took'em back and buffed them out as well.

I'll post pics as soon as possible for feed back.
