I vote for the SPADE wheel. It is unique and an interesting combination of spoke and slot. My 2 cents . . .

I like both. It'd be cool to have a photoshop done to see which you prefer.Ryan

I went back and read your entire post after you offered some comments and real help on my transmission cooling problems. You, sir, are a master craftsman. No joke.Jack

It has been a little bit since my last update. I got the truck home and about 4 hours after I unloaded it off the trailer it was completely torn down. I will have the frame back home in about 16 hours. I will cut and buff it at the end of the weekend and start final assembly of the suspension and other components.
Tear down picture
Here it is after I made a quick frame roller. I had to do some final welding and off to a friends shop the frame and I went.
After hitting it with 80 on a DA and making damn sure any and all rust has been removed.
Then I applied 2 coats of SPI Black Epoxy... Let me tell you SPI has my business from here on out. Fantastic products and prices! Here is a picture after the filler work over the epoxy. Oh, the Wife-to-be says "HI"
After filler work was complete it went back into the booth for some slick sand. Here she is all blocked out and ready to for another 2 coats of epoxy to seal it back up.
Sealed up!
Over 24 hours later we wet sanded it and I applied 3 coats of Spies Hecker FP 2002 Blue/Black!
After I let the base sit 16 hours I cleared it this morning. 3 coats of SPI Universal Clear. This alone took over 4 hours with 30 minute flash times. I really like this clear. I have been a PPG DCU2002 Guy for years. I'm done paying for PPG's stuff!
Let me tell you this is by far the most difficult object I have ever had to paint. What a nightmare to get to every surface. Lucky me not a single area of dry spray and not a single run!Last edited by sprayed99; 06-12-2014 at 10:43 PM.

Very very cool and for me, this is the most exciting time in the build and satisfrying seeing it all come together looking shiny and new..
I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
