oh yea and the more I look around this site the more ghetto I feel, you guys sure do have some nice rides!!!!! but I guess we all started somewhere:wink:

I really wish I would have taken some before shots of mine. Tons of gold spray paint. Looked very gheto. Now it's like gheto-light. Or maybe reduced gheto. But it's coming along. I used a paint remover to do most of the work, just brush it on and wait 10 minutes and wipe it off. Also went through alot of sanding disks trying to remove built up rust. My wheels were so bad that I just kept layering paint to smooth them out. Turned out pretty good. I also got the 6.5 from Harbor Freight. Couple heavy weekends of working on it and and I was rollin'.

That looks like a great start of a Manco Streaker. I am trying to finish one up myself.
