I don't have a spare tire. I run a staggered set of tires so I can't really get a tire that is the right size to fit them all.

That should look good! When are you going to get it painted?

I friend of mine came by and told me how he went over to a local Paint and Body place with his 67 Mustang and they wanted 10 GRAND for a new paint job along with all the body work that would go along with it. Needless to say, he didn't want to go for that! lol

That was the same place that I was thinking of going to if I repainted, but I sure as heck can't afford that......

Well, I guess you can at least drive around on the wheels/rims before you get it painted. But having a nice paint job is a good thing as well. But, as I found out it can be REAL expensive.

Are you any good with paint and body? That's something that's as much an art as a skill....

Man! Those wheels look good!

You still have the stickers on the tires!

It will really look good once you get it painted!

You might have something shorting out. It might be kind of hard to find out what it is. You could try to isolate by seeing if any of your circuits is drawing power......

Sorry I can't help more then that. I'm not real good with electrical stuff......
