Hub caps for 1920 Stephens Salient Six

Dear Nickel Roadster.<o:p></o:p>

My 1920 Stephens restoration goes very slowly. Have had a complicated work with the missing sills. Had to figure out what they should look like as they were missing when I brought this car home. The former owner had replaced the sills with a sheet of plywood and planks from the lumberyard and also nailed the front backrest on place. It was very painful to see.

Before I took the body apart I did a very careful examination. Wrote down the existing measurements and used them when I made my first attempt to build up the new framework.

I soon realized they were all wrong. Had to tear down parts of the body and take a break, but finally after a lot of searching I got in touch with a guy in <st1:State><st1:place>Iowa</st1:place></st1:State> who had a similar car, a 1921 model 96 . He provided most of the measurements I needed.

Today the wooden framework looks all right and a skilled tinsmith has promised to take look on the body. <o:p> </o:p>

Still missing the jumpseats.<o:p></o:p>

Best regards Claes
