That beautiful red inspires me. My current red looks like your "before" pics. (plus primer)
Can you post info on paint color and type?

Beautiful work. The paint looks great.

Where did you buy the wheels?

I love shiny things.

Thank you Gentlemen. I got the wheels from a local wheel and Tire shop. They are trailer wheels. 16x8.

Also ran into another issue. The wipers don't work. Wiring harness is fine. Connections are fine. The wipers start working at single speed once one of the hot connections is grounded. Any ideas? Is it a grounding problem? Not an electrical guy so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Wipers do work controlling the grounding. Most probably the problem you have is inside the contacts mechanism at the motor, due to lack of use. You can open the cover (see picture below) and clean the contacts and the track they run in. You can use "dielectric grease" to coat again the tracks for a smooth operation. By the way, dielectric grease is a must have for many automotive electrical uses, even to coat the bases of light bulbs to prevent them from corrosion. Just one of many uses.

Please check also the following thread, that deals somehow with the electrical connections for the wipers.
