JayG Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Just wanted to share. I have spent an untold amount of hours sandblasting, filling pits and painting the hubs, fellows, bolts, rims, wheel clamps and brake drums. I sent some of the old spokes along with the painted items to Noah Stutzman in Ohio. He did a fantastic job making new spokes. Then I put a light stain on them and marine varnish. Finally got them back on the car. I love them. The amount of effort was worth it. A before pic, the pile of parts and some after pics. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayG Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 You don't realize how bad some things are until you take them apart. I knew there were a few loose spokes but after taking them apart they were downright dangerous. Many of the ends that go into the fellows were well worn and soft. I feel much better knowing that the wheels won't fall apart on the next corner I take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
