    Finally figured out how to upload these photos. Had a couple if friends help with it ,we did all the work ourselves. These photos are what we started with. the hei system is a rally ignition, it was running very rough, then I saw a bright blue spark jump from the coil tower under the coil wire and killed everything. I replaced everything with the hei ignition, now it runsIMG_20240809_122858853.jpg smooth as glass.

    I have know idea what brand of wheels they are, just that they look nice. Thank you for the kind remarks, this is the first time i've tried posting on a site like this.

    After sitting in a barn for 20 years, with what I had to work with, I think they turned out pretty nice

    IMG_1649.jpg Ok. I understand, I was just thinking if you wanted to there’s cleaner on the market that could clean those more and make them shine. Looks good though I like the older jeeps. Not the same style of rim but
    Mine were not shiny when I started cleaning up my Jeep either
