Default Roxanne got some new shoes (PICS)

Dunno if any of you remember the video thread I did a couple months back where I had several segments of bringing an old set of 18" polished bullits back to life. Well Ive been busy and in and out of the shop getting my new hood and Roush bumper painted and havent had time to put the refurbished wheels on Roxanne until the last few days I didnt want to throw nice new shiny wheels on old rusted rotors and my calipers need a fresh coat of paint as well so I went to work hours of grinding, cleaning, painting the rotors and calipers and mounting and polishing the wheels here are the results enjoy.

EDIT I PUT ON MY POWERED BY FORD BADGES TODAY SO I ADDED A FEW MORE PICS ON INSTEAD OF MAKING A NEW THREAD

That's a really sweet ride you have there! It looks a lot like mine in its styling, but I love that color scheme. What size tires are those?

Great job on the refinishing of those wheels. I watched a few of those videos and I thought maybe getting a little zooted using that aircraft stripper would prevent you from finishing them! LOL!

I agree there is a couple things I wanna do to get it ready for our photoshoot another week or two and Ill be ready I know you mentioned Hawks Nest which is beautiful but its a long haul for me 2 hrs how bout we meet in the middle Sutton Lake is nice We could get some really good shots at the marina and Im pretty sure there is a bar at the docks. I mapquested it and its 55 min for me and 65 min from Charleston. Just an idea also There is going to be a huge Corvette and muscle car show at the Parkersburg city park in a few weeks Im going and I may enter the show if you wanted to meet up there that would work too.
