Re: [AMC-list] Volcano Wheels My Way

Doc,

I'm not sure if Kelly Tires makes a "Fierce" tire for 14 or 15 inch wheels,
mine are 17 inch tires, but look into it.
The Kelly Fierce tires that have been on the white Javelin for two seasons
have been terrific tires.
Oh yeah, I thought they were very affordably priced too.
Not big name stuff like Michelin or something but great tires.

Armand

> There is no reason my preservation not restoration 72 Matador has to look
like an old junker. With the roof rust fixed and my simulated spray on bed
liner vinyl top the car is looking much better. Next in the cosmetic line up
is the wheels. It came with Volcano's and aftermarket trim rings. Naturally
the red portion of the Volcano that says American Motors is trash. The
center of the Volcano's are damaged also. 2 Volcano's are with a good clean
up with Mother Mag Wheel polish driver quality. The other 2 are trash. Being
a model car builder I have used my talents before on my cars. Using .060
sheet plastic I made new red rings and painted them the color of the car.
For the damaged centers I made an AMC emblem insert. I cut a circle of .040
sheet plastic to fit, painted it the cars color. Next I use 2 more pieces of
.040 sheet plastic to make a 3 dimentional AMC emblem. The first piece was
painted with Eastwoods argent silver wheel paint. The next piece was painted
R/W/B with t
>  estors model pain. The 3 pieces were glued together with Testors model
glue. Then the whole works was clear coated. Once dry I glued the ring and
the emblem to the Volcano with JB Weld after roughing up the chrome on the
area where the JB was to be applied. The steel wheel itself will be painted
with Eastwoods charcoal gray wheel paint. The trim rings are not pitted or
rusty so I will hit them with some Mothers. I also have 20 new chrome lug
nuts that I had bought 3-4 years ago for another project but never used
them. The Rally steering wheel is restored and on the car but no I have a
short in the horn somewhere in the steerin column. Got to fix that and
install my Aougha Horn. The car needs a new set of tires so I will be
pricing a set in the medium price range. I also used the emblem making
process to make one for the center of the steering wheel on the Matador
along with a new plexiglas lense. It came out so nice I re-did the center of
my Orange Hornet's wheel too.
