Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

The rim is a 15x6.5, which is really uncommon (most steelies are 15x5.5). On one hand, I could make him source one, and it'd probably only be found brand new at $120CDN plus $50 shipping and it won't match the other three, or on the other hand I can make him put some sweat into it and I weld it. Labour is a good teaching tool.
