Brian, I hadn't intended to build a lowrider from the outset, but it seems to have naturally gone that way! The cab work you did on your daycab convinced me to redo the windshield on mine. Really helps capture the pete look. Brian, John, Mr Cowboy, Troy, you have all built trucks that have inspired this build so thanks for the kind words, means a lot, and thanks for sharing all your builds. Without all this information I wouldn't have got where I am now with my project.

Re: Nick's 379 build
Hey Nick,
This is how I fit the wedico tires to my meir wheels. First I ground down the lips on the inside with my bench grinder(be careful not to nick the outer rim).  In this pic,I cut off the long portion of the hub so I could use my hub covers.  Then I wet the tire to help slide it on (this helps when you are doing a bunch of tires).  When you get the tire on the wheel it will be lop-sided. You will need to work the tire around the wheel with your fingers.    Then you are done!
