    Thanks man! Good to see ya'. It's been a rough few months...lost my brother and kind of just wasn't thrilled about anything for a long while! When you talk with someone everyday 2 or 3 times a day for 50 years and you wake up one day and they're not there it just kinda dulls everything! But we're getting back on track! Hope everyone's gettin' along in here and safe!

    Its addictive that job. I did use yellow wheel and the brown soap stone. I'm sure I'll do some touch ups with the white if I'm not going anywhere tomorrow.

    I'm sorry to hear that your brother passed away.

    Sometimes it's good to take a break from social media. If you need anything let us know, some of us are still here.

    Are you still hauling cars or did you find another job?

    Raneys sends me one of these free every year haha. Only thing I'd add is maybe a loose flannel buff and a blue stick if you're going for a complete show gloss.

    It seems to take a lot less elbow grease when you're hand jobbin' it!!

    Them 24.5 don't happen to be stud pilots do they..?

    Need some tall 4's for the drive. Need more top end to get me out of the granny lane more often.. :eek:

    No, I might be able to locate some. But I will advise, I would plan to regear if that's the problem. The added weight and rotation mass will be minimal gains.

    GPS flickers between 72-73mph wide open. Tall 22.5 now.
    Put 4.10, .73od, 1800rpm, & 41" tire height into the calculator shows 73.3mph.
    All same but 43" tire height says 77mph.. Cheaper than a re gear, no..?

    What my 320/350hp monster won't have the balls to turn the 24.5's..? :D
