rickeieio Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 As we were installing Crossfires today, I mentioned to Susan that sometime in the not too distant future, we'll need to put new shoes on the rear of the POPEMOBILE. It would make sense to polish the wheels while everything's apart. It would make even more sense, if several of us could have this done at the HDT rally in October, and perhaps cut a group deal. Any ideas out there?

Big5er Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I would be up for it. My rims need it. Makes my new steer tires look ugly.

rickeieio Posted August 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Well, I'm proposing buying tires and having the polishing done at that time. Does anyone know if there's a good tire shop in the Hutch area?

I see it, don't know of any polishers I'll ask around? Could use my shop if the fair won't allow that kind of thing. I was thinking of painting my wheels cause they are really dingy. How many trucks you guys think would want in?

Jeff.Sloan Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 There is a Pomp's tire in Salina. You guys willing to go that far?

Hewhoknowslittle Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Ok I’ll contact him. I reached out to Philip and he tried to call last night, but this old man was in bed, I just sent him another message as he is active on FB, asking for a return call, more to come.l Roger Edited August 25, 2019 by Hewhoknowslittle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HERO Maker Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Roger, that guy does some nice work! Is it all by hand? Looked like it in one of the videos. I'm thinking he dismounts the wheels? Quote Rocky & Sheri Rhoades '01 Volvo 770 2016 DRV Mobile Suites, HoustonHERO Makers Ministry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewhoknowslittle Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Made contact with Philip today, he lives in Loveland Colorado and is willing to come to the rally if there’s enough interest. I explained to him that if he needed a deposit to come to Hutch we would do that. He gets 85.09 a wheel and yes he removes the wheel from the truck, mounts on his polishing jig, sands polishes and seals the rim, remounts on the truck. He stated he can do 3 tandem trucks a day, one Pete radiator surround, back of headlight housing, tanks and tank steps, air cleaner housings takes all day. I need a list of who is interested and what services requested. The deposit will be the wheels you want done at 85.00 each. Please email me with interest at rogerjones218@ gmail dot com. And you can also reply here as well so others can see the head count. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
