RE: [ST] Wheel bearings and Powder Coating



I thought a lot about doing but 2 things stopped me.  One is that the shop
that is paying for the work might think twice when they see I changed what
was there.  Hind sight I should have insisted on getting paid up front, then
I could have done what I wanted too.  2nd was that fact that yellow rims
would be really cool for now, but eventually they might get old, the I would
have to do the whole process again, at my expense, unless of course I could
find a shop to scratch the rims again!! 

  So who wants to chip in a tire changing machine for my garage??
