Spare tire reborn

Myrtle came with 6 wheels and tires in need of replacement. We had previously purchased seven 17.5 inch Yokohama Y785R tires. For other tire options check out Buttercup's blog: http://www.carsgozoom.com/buttercup/suppliers/ 

We searched for a spare rim, and were lucky enough to buy one from Buttercup's owner. We've just had it sandblasted, powder coated and the tire mounted. Here are the before and after photos below. The next step is getting a sweet custom cover made.

Myrtle's friend Buttercup

We had the good fortune to meet Buttercup, the 1968 210 Travco, and her awesome owner. Buttercup is 21 feet long and is neatly tucked into her Brooklyn driveway. Buttercup is lucky to have a knowledgable owner and I look forward to following her transformation on her blog: http://www.carsgozoom.com/buttercup/about/.

In addition to viewing this awesome rig, we purchased a spare rim for Myrtle! Now she has a complete set of seven, 6 bolt, 17.5 inch, rims.
