Looking better, and running better since I got her a few months ago.

Brings new meaning to 'that'll buff out'.

Really looks sharp Starliner!

What kind of tires did you put on?

Thanks guys.
Per Boys sells Starfire Solaris HT, now owned by Cooper.
LT235/85R16 load range e for just over a hundred bucks each.

I've got to say, these tires are impressive, and a great value.  Also, a plug to Sprayway Tire spray. Spray on and walk away. Over a week now and still look really great.

I have plenty more to do with paint correction.
I got this dashboard at the junkie last week and have been working on it. It had adhesive or glua all over it and it was dry. I soaked it with adhesive remover, then armor all,  then the adhesive remover, then chipped away at it all. I will eventually degrease , maybe patch the grill area, then paint it saddle color.

Stay away from armorall I you ever intend to paint!

Silicone oil is going to create massive fish eyes and cause adhesion problems.
