Got both the engines on and found out that the dremel attachment that hold the cutting disks can be used to remove the seams off of wheels.

Looking very tasty Eddie! Can't believe I never thought of the Dremel/Wheel idea before, that'll save some time!

That's looking damn fine - nice one Eddie!  :thumbsup:

Did you paint the tires using the Dremel method too?

Thanks Paul and Weaver!
  I painted the wheels by hand because I was concerned I might sling paint all over the place :lol:

Here it is. Done just in time. Two different "moods" of photos.

Lovely Eddie!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Thank you Ed. I used Kylon metallic brilliant silver. I haven't been pleased with too many metaliic finishes out of a can, but this came out pretty good for me. :thumbsup:
