Ur right! My lock rings are nickel plated 😉

Nice Ash wheel! Hope you have at least 3 more and all your hubs are in good shape. Love to see those accessory wire wheels👍

I have five more. Hubs are good. Only had four wheels and three caps. Found two more in Murdo SD with one cap. Bought them both so I could have a full set, wheels and caps.

That’s fantastic news! I think I have an extra rear hub layin around from an old project. Didn't have a complete set of hubs so I drilled new Buffalo centers to fit the rims

Fancy. I will really need to do a full bead blast and repaint to make them right. Just getting things ready for rolling around. Have a friend who wants me to get it ready to show as an 'in progress' at a July car show. Needs the guides reamed and new valves installed for it to run.
