I think the red wheels look good, especially with the bare silver nuts and axle caps.

Its hard to tell but I had to re-coat the wood, as most of the original polyurethane was either chipped off, or never applied. (Seriously, Amish wagon builder, why NOT coat the underside??)

I didn’t clean it up TOO much before adding 4-6 coats of new poly, because I didn’t want it to look TOO nice. Its got a slightly ratty well-used look, and I like it.

The only thing I might have done different would be to find a better axle cap (not much out there in 5/8 size) and maybe some chrome acorn nuts for the “lug” nuts.

Oh, and skull valve stem caps \m/

I’m not sure if you know this or not but Paint Your Wagons is actually a western musical with Clint singing.

I had a similar reaction to Bart and Homer when it came on TV at my grandparent’s.
