Hot Rods GOING TO TRY IT AGAIN ~ 5 SPOKE MAGS

I'll be damned if I am going to sit here for another 1 1/2 hr's finding pic's, down loading pic's, down loading from photo bucket and typing with one figure, loading to thread, etc. Why couldn't the thread be cleaned up, delete the offending pic's/info like Ryan did to another thread a while back? At least than the HAMBER's who get deleted will know they are not in compliance. I am still in limbo as to if it was something I said or posted. Typing this took 1/2 hr. ! smileyface

Here are 2 Projects where I used 5-Spoke Mags:
Ford - Ridlers
Mercury - Rocket Racings

 

Our Deuce 5wd in 1964:

REAR: American Racing (magnesium) Torq Thrust 5-spokes
FRONT: American Racing (magnesium) "LeMans" Torq Thrust 5-spokes​

 

I missed the story on the knock offs. HRP

 

THAT is the very reason I don't post much anymore. I'm not period perfect and never will be, but enjoy looking at things that are, as well as those that are not.

 

At Carlsbad Raceway more than a few years back.
I'm telling my daughter where to line up.

I had Cragars on my '55:


Then "upgraded" to Americans. If I ever do another Tri-5, it'll have Cragars.

 

DAYUM!! That looks GREAT! Cant get better than that!

 

My old wagon that I put a set if Halibrand 5 spokes on.

 

ET's that I put on my Roadster

 

My 34 project that I traded for the 40. These were Halibrands

 

39 deluxe that was for sale years ago.....Pretty much nailed it.

 

That is a sweet wagon. HRP

First test fit on the wagon with an old set of off brand 5 spokes. 15X9 had a less than an 1/8" clearance to the inner fender......Just a little too full, and had to pull them off, and went with 8.5's

 

The very first thing I did after I officially started my 37 Fordor build was order some TTDs and tires. 8-1/2 years later... I had to get new tires before hitting the road! But those mags were just perfect. Gary

 

HAMB Drags ...Lots and lots of five spokes!

 

Local 5 spokes

 

Bonneville 5 Spokes

 

Here's a streetrod car I've been trying to get bought.

 

I bought these 25 years ago to put on my 49 and never put them on the car.
