Attention restoration enthusiasts!

[ronald b. kazi]

This is your chance. First come, first served. For a limited time you
can trade your hard to maintain Alcoa wheels for the real thing. I am
willing to trade my original bias ply rims for your cheap looking
Alcoas. No need to polish these babys and you don't even have to spray
rust colored paint on them... They have actual rust on them! I will even
throw in some original GMC spec D rated tires at no extra charge (in
return for that foreign Michelin junk you have mounted on your Alcoas).
BUY AMERICAN! I will even include the glove compartment lable at no
extra charge!
You pay shipping.

No takers......Oh well, it was worth a try. Does anyone have the web
address of the place with the Alcoa wheel deal? I think it might be
time to start saving. I still have those 6 Bud cans......

What is the size and model of these babies. 16" x ?. My buddy has a tire
place across from where I work. Maybe I will take a sixpack of Bud over
there and try to work some kind of a deal out on the tires and rims. Worst
case scenario, I have 12 cans to reclaim the deposits on!
