I have to give the wife credit.......

admin

After months of grumbling why I couldn't sell my Tahoe rims for any more than recycle AL weight,  the wife chimed in about making something out of them for our son. And so it begins........... I made it a mission to use only AL from the surplus bin at the local supply yard.  I'm such a cheap bastard. Attached Images
