Baby got some new shoes!!

Well ok there not new there just refinished..... Its amazing what a good polisher and a body shop can do.... Had a local chrome shop polish out the lips.. they also fixed all of the large scrapes..
Then my friend who owns a body shop sanded and painted the inner part.... Now she's all ready to go to Vegas next weekend for the big race! Added a shift light, oil pressure warning light, and I am installing the system for the cool shirt and Helmet Ventilation system.. And she got a nice polish this afternoon..

Some Before and after shots of the wheels..








After being Polished..



All Done..


Thank you Ralph Boothe for the polished center caps with locks...

A few more pics..

Wow Kevin, the refinished wheels look incredible ...what a difference! My '87 Targa has the stock Fuchs with black centers. After seeing your wheels, I'm thinking about doing what you did and painting the centers red. You just gave me a great idea!
