John, Rim looks stock 86' to me, I would like it.. And the hub.. Go ahead and trash the tire, I dont need one, I just thought if it was good that I could use it as a spare. So Just the rim + Hub.

I do use one of those buffers occasionally, But I prefer doing it with my hands, Seems to work better for me.

Freaks - I was reccomended kroil from another board member when we were talking in chat, this stuff works wonders! Definatly worth the money. Its weird smelling it though, Sort of a mix of Pine-Sol and oven cleaner, LOL. It should be done here shortly, It didnt really need any of this stuff, but I am taking up time while I am waiting on the rest. The motor and rims/tires were shipped out yesterday, After that I am just waiting on the frame/swinger/axle and misc little stuff. I bought the complete running bike off Don, It didnt really need anything, its not a show piece, but a good runner, I am just cleaning it up a bid and giving it a basic complete tune up (new bearings, seals, cables, brake pads, etc throughout the whole bike) Should be all together early-mid april if things go to plan.

Vartiak - it is supposed to be, but I will put that to the test... I dont even know the name of it right now, and I'm not in the mood to go dig it out and see. LOL

Threewheelin-feelin- I use a big combination of stuff, Here is a list of stuff I use.. Sometimes I use it seperatly, and I also have this big spray bottle which I mix all of it together in (for the tough stuff) .. "Purple power", "mean green", regular oven cleaner (BE CAREFUL when using on aluminum). And this other stuff I use I cant even think of the name, Its in a white bottle with pink lettering, I will have to get you the name later. For stripper I use an industrial version of "Zip-Strip" This stuff is AWESOME, it is like gel, and you just spray or brush it on, let it sit, and the paint will drip right off in chunks. (be careful though, it will eat your skin and wont stop untill it hits the bone)
