Wheels

Took the hubs & rims down to Southside Powder coaters to be blasted and painted.

taping wheels b4 spraying the white strip

I prob should have chosen black but instead went for black gloss on the hubs & royal blue on the rims. The front rim is a 19" off a Norton from the 40's & the back rim is 16" off my 47 chief. It is quite pitted with rust.

Got them home & taped them up & painted on an off white strip in the middle.

                                                                                                              Not sure about the color but I can always change it later.

Got some new bearings from Vintage & Modern in Maddington & rebuilt the hub.

Dropped the front wheel into Budgie's spoke business in Midland & will also get a 19x350 tyre put on.

Budgie noted the rim wasn't straight.

I should have panel beat it before painting. He will try & fix it.

I will pick up the wheel studs this morning from Murray & start building the rear hub & get that laced.

Could have a rolling chassis in the next few weeks !

before spokes

the front wheel finished !
