The Buggy has a new pair of shoes

We finally found a great deal on tires for the dune buggy and had to jump on them.  Luckily, we found a place here in town that sells decent used tires and they had just the right sizes to fit our wheels.  I got a lesson in mounting and balancing.  The place we went let me watch.   We also painted the floor this week so the whole thing is painted and ready to roll.  Ha Ha.  I guess our next steps will be putting it all back together again.  Here goes nothin!  

 We had to use a converter because the wheels on the VW had four studs and the new wheels
 have five.  Didn't think I had taken a picture of that yet so here it is.  



The back tires are a little bigger than the front ones.


The floor, primed.

Painted.
