I know, I know, the color is nasty . But the price was right and has minimal rust for Iowa. I have a friend that will be painting his race care here soon and I think we are going to have a painting party.

What is hammered black ?

Flat black. Or get a can of spray on bedliner from autozone. I did my tube bumpers with it and it turned out good. You can paint over it too. Just an idea

I would go neon green.  That way maybe they wouldn't notice the body color.   :laugh:

Its sad but here in IL (just like in Iowa) about the only ones that survive the rust belt are the barbie kicks.  I guess the women that bought them must garage them.  However, most I've seen all have hard tops and are well maintained.  Hey, I just installed pink tracker seats in my black tracker cause they were in perfect shape and came out of a white tracker (pink underneath) that I parted and junked. 

Nice tires.  What did those run?   Flat black I like on my axles, leafs, frame, but a little shine for the wheels looks good.  Amazingly enough I like the look of my black tracker with my stock gloss white sammy rims with Cooper ST 235s.  The white kinda pops.  I just put new 205s on my stock tracker rims with the hammered silver stock color and I like that too.  With that body color though I prefer the look of the stock hammered silver like the rear rim in your pic.  Seems to show off the tire a little better.

I got the tires from Stone Tire , they are retreads . I got them for $40 a piece.
I haven't tried retreads before but I thought I would try some.
Thanks,

I had a couple of cans of semi flat /semi gloss whatever you want to call it . Is painted them with it . Pics sometime today.
I think the tires are going to dig in the mud which I wanted.

Here is what I ended up with ?





Street legal ? Of course and they even have holes for studs for the winter, which is helpful for Iowa winters.
