HarryS Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Love it! I wasn't that creative when I did my wheel. I had to paint, wait to dry, flip and paint over and over a few times. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53448-redneck-engineering/#findComment-399760 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 That’s awesome. Is that just a normal 2 pack paint or anything special? Now for the question everybody wants to know, did you mask up the cruise control buttons and the radio controls? 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53448-redneck-engineering/#findComment-399886 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No masking the controls, that way they will blend in to the wheel better. 😆 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53448-redneck-engineering/#findComment-400060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I want to fix my wheel, really bad. Just need to take it off and do it. Got to grind all the plastic out, then sandblast the rusty wire and coat it, then rebuild the plastic. Almost worth the big money they get for it? I'm just not much of a sander/painter.

j hancock Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I purchased an Eastwood Wheel Kit to do a 22" wheel that didn't have too many problems or so I thought. Cleaned everything and the kit was straight forward and fairly easy to work with. It came out looking great. As time has gone by, a couple bubbles have appeared so something is growing inside. Well, must not have got all the rust cleaned up. Probably will leave it for a while because it still looks far better than what it was. Someday might send one out to be recast. Doing a recast at home would definitely be a LOT of sanding! Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Recasting your wheel at home sounds like a job that requires adult supervision. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53448-redneck-engineering/#findComment-400123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurstscrambler Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Who offers a good restoration service for these wheels. I'd like to send out my IH wheel if the cost wasn't out of this world.
