[giggles13]

Found this set of Rims.

Their perfect for Lil' Pixie! 8)
Apparently Missy thinks their perfect too.

Here is a close up of the hub.

I will be repainting the rims. Also I have a different set of tires that I am using.

Also found this set of pedals. Plan on using these for Lil' Sprocket. But since she is at the storage I don't know yet if they are compatible.

Missy also likes these too. Here is a close up of them.

Here is Mister and Missy together. Mister passed away during that recall on the catfood. But they sure do look like twins to yours, just mister was a little darker than yours and Your cat that looks like missy is darker.

I like those names. My cat's real names are Angel. Mister I named Angel when I got him 14 years ago. Missy was actually bigdaddydouble and mama Kat's cat, they named her Angel. So when we adopted her to save on confusion(she got in alot of trouble) we called them mister and missy.

Nogoodnic actually gave the idea to us! It Works great even for Lil' Pixie.

Okay I was so excited about getting the rims, I thought I better get them tires off.

Chainsaw didn't know I was working on it until I almost had it completely off the first rim.
Here is me getting the tire off the first rim.

Next tire.

Look at that Rim. Can't wait to see it on Lil' Pixie!

 

[giggles13]

So I ended up not going over to the storage tonight.
I'm sitting here getting the rims ready for paint and relize that The front hub I want to paint a different color from the spokes and the rest of the rim. So off comes the spokes so I can prep and get ready for paint.

This is where I start to take the spokes off.

Almost done.

 

[giggles13]

Finally got it off

I enjoy the pics. That's a cool front hub!

 

[giggles13]

So I get over to the storage today to work on Lil' Pixie. I start by preparing the hub and rim by sanding it. I get that done and sand the sprocket. I get the section taped off and think okay I can get started on the painting.

I then look over at the back rim and think. Dang that hub is chrome. Thats not going to match.

Off comes the spokes.
I then prepare the rest of the parts for painting.

Off to priming.

 

[giggles13]

A couple of more priming parts.

Painting time.

 

[giggles13]

Time to paint the rims.

Lookin good GIGS!!

 

[giggles13]

Got them done. Hey I still have the spokes to paint. I ended up leaving the front set of spokes at home. Have to work on them next time I'm up at the storage.
Here are some before pictures. Didn't get the painted pictures. Chainsaw left me in the storage alone.

Look what I found.

Got this ready and primed.

 

[giggles13]

Here is a little something that I plan on using. Keep you guesing for a while.

Didn't get a chance to do any of the welding that I planned. Had to let the paint dry.
Not to worry can work on it another day.
