8 months later.
I didn't forget about y'all.
Got busy at work and never had a machine torn down this long.
Painted the original rims up to what I thought was the correct color. I was wrong.

I just about destroyed these rims with some Firestone 23*-8 ply's.
I've done many 4 ply tires but these suckers were tuff. I said *&$% it and ordered these from Miller. Yep, the wide ones.

Ya, I coulda saved a few bucks and had them weld them up but that's not any fun. I tried every way to get them running true but couldn't.

Have you guys(gals) had any luck? I ended up using a square and level to get them "in the ball park"
I think I'll keep my day job cause I suck at MIG welding.
Welders, what did I do wrong here? I can silver braze the crap out of anything but I can't get the feel for this Miller Cricket MIG machine.

Anyhow, I mixed up some PPG Epoxy and shot them as the sun was going down. WOW, it cooled off quick and when I finished it was 46* so I moved the parts inside.
