The Pewter Imposter's Polished Wheels

Troy SloanTroy Sloan Supporting Member
Thanks to Cory, the Pewter Imposter is the name of my latest Speedster project, which will soon be listed on eBay.

Here are a few new photos as I am preparing her for a new home.

If you are thinking about polishing your wheels yourself, you may want to reconsider after seeing these pictures. I took the Pewter Imposter's wheels to a local semi-truck detailing company and for $25 each (and a $25 tip) this is how they turned out and it only took them 1 hour to do it. It's the best $25 you will ever spend on your wheels.

There are also some photos of the top and underside of the engine. What I thought was a dual oil cooler is actually the air conditioner condenser, but it does have an oil cooler too.

Troy:

After spending 3- 4 days EACH on my polished Fuchs, I am totally in favor of having someone else polish anything in the future.

That tip of a Big Rig polishing outfit is great - Lots of those places here in the South.

When I left work, my BP was 155 over 93.

Now in retirement, I'm 120 over 74. No question in my mind why I left High Tech...

I just got one of these T-shirts from my friends, "Statler and Waldorf". It pretty much says it all:
