9/17/2010: And so the Haddoxizing begins...

Got up early this morning to move the MGB over a little in the garage and get it up on stands all around to remove the wheels. Taking all 5 to Firestone Auto to have the tires removed so that I can take the wheels to Glendale Powder Coating in the morning to have blasted and coated high-gloss silver. $150 for the 5! Will pick them up next weekend and take them back to Firestone to have new rubber mounted and balanced.  Have never messed with spoked wheels that mount to the wheel hub with a knock-off nut. Interesting configuration. Truly old school. Now just need to figure out how to true them between now and then.
