    Ironically the spoke count is the same between the 16"vs 18" however not sure if the hub cap coincides with the clip spacing........on a separate note regarding regular commercial hub caps, I believe most were relatively flat with an oversized Ford script.

  3. Tires to rims tomorrow!
    Can’t wait to mock this up again and see how it all looks with these beautiful Rocky Mountain Hubs! They remind me of the inner workings of a watch.
    Time will tell what they look like!

    The wheels are beautiful and I think they will be killer with the Rocky Mountain brakes. But, for some reason I envisioned them in the "champagne-pewter-olive-sorta colour". (Post 314)
    Now I know why, you said it :D

    I think the contrast with black tires would be even more striking!

    Since no one else posted about the chrome or nickel plated Deuce grille shell. I vote YES!

    Needs to retain the original radiator cap and flare as pictured.

     
  5. Thinking the hub will go that colour! Or the inside of the backing plates.
     
  6. Rears fitted! These are huge! Hope to keep proportions good. But they look awesome mounted on the 700/18s
    Next up: build rear axle and make it a roller again!!!

  7. Thanks @GearheadsQCE the package arrived today! Time to get that rear end together

    I was getting a bit worried. Glad you got it!:D


    As good as they look in black, I still think they would look better in the lighter colour.
