Good work!

Before and after! First time lacing. This rim had a bullet dent in it from when it was on a farm. Only took me about 15 times and a lot swearing to figure it out.

Great job documenting this entire resto. Beautiful work !

Amazing! Is the rim re-chromed or what did you use to make the rim silver?

All re-chromed along with the rest of the parts.
Should be able to start building in a week or so.

I would have guessed Time-Machine...it looks brand new!
