Jake Dykstra's 1962 409/409 Impala!

Phase 1 of Operation Bias Ply was completed today.

Went down and took the wheels off and ran them to the local tire guy and had the tires dismounted. Thanks to Rusty we've got 5 new reproduction bias ply Goodyear 8.00 x 14 - 1" whitewalls ready to go back on.

Brought the wheels back and cleaned them up and blew some black paint on them as they should have been from the factory. Letting the paint cure a bit and will go back down in another week or two to get the new tires mounted.

Had a chance to get a warranty replacement battery taken care of as well and started up the car and let it run a bit.

I don't know, I would've had a hard time painting over the beautiful paint on those wheels.

The end result will be nice..

Thanks - The picture of the black wheels are the "after". The blue paint we painted over was nice but not correct for this application so we decided to make the change.

Yep, it was the Blue paint I referred too.
