but yeah i spend my day polishing the chrome my moms BF drives a semi and he bought some chrome polish from a vendor at a truck stop, it comes in like a shampoo bottle......holy  does this shiznit work man! this stuff it tells you to wipe on with a rag then immediately wipe off and to not let dry it made a hell of a difference shined those old 14" hubcaps right up

:eek:

It's when I hear about rust like that it makes me glad my Tbird is from California :D . I see Fox Tbirds at the wreakers near my house where the lower quarters are so rotted out that I can poke my fingers through 'em.

I'm really diggin that color combo on the engine bay, looks good.

I might be selling a set of chrome 10 holes from US wheel with  near brand new tires for cheap. The rims need cleaned up a bit, but overall there good. I'll try and get some pics later in the week if I aint busy.

I aint sure on a price for the wheels yet. The tires are Goodyear GPS 2, and are 195/75/14. My Bird sat pretty low with them on there. There was probably an inch between my floor jack and the K-member, of course my springs seemed a little weak too.

Heres the only pics I have of them right now. I never got any side view pics while they were on the Bird, but there is one from when they were on my buddy's Cougar.

And thats a spare on the back of the bird in case you were wondering.
