Added branded centercaps to the wheels. Exchanged greasecsp for bearing buddies for clearance. Legit?

MrGuts, you should just pick up where Garms thread on Spike left off. Nice to know it didnt go very far... I really wanted that car and sort-of regret not buying it... Im happy with mine though, hopefully you are too!

They look great. Just be aware that bearing buddies are known to trailer maintenance guys as causing the early failure of many bearings. The grease fittings lead to excessive greasing which puts pressure on seals causing them to distort, allowing contamination to enter. Limit yourself to one shot every other year or something of that nature.

I think I got those areas smooth now for primer . got the side windows out and bumpers off today too . And I think I've finally gotten All oil leakes tightened up . I hope I've gotten it all stopped . picked up the last of the supplies for paint time . I only need to finish popping off some chrome stuff on the outside and I'll be painting this baby in my side yard again . and got some window ribbon for new seals for all my windows . .
