Updated the tires on my Rat/Hot Rod Trail Horse

[SimpleTom]

I think it looks better with the 5.30/4.50-6 tire on the back and while I was at it I painted on the white walls.

I also have another bike just about done in the same Rat/Hot Rod theme. The frame came from Ray/ Iron Honky which he got from Chad/ minibikin'.

Cool! Love that Rat Rod Style Tom. Were the white walls rattle canned? Any special prepping involved to make it look that nice?

Thanks! The hub caps came off a Simplicity riding mower. Other manufacturers used them as well.

Thanks! I used Krylon Fusion gloss white spray paint. I just wiped them down with lacquer thinner, then scuffed up the area with sand cloth, and wiped them off once more before taping them off. It works better on dryer, aged tires where the oils have seeped out. Newer tires seem to yellow after awhile.
