    Painting rim question?

    I'm painting my rims - they will not be powdered coated. What is the best primer to use? I've been told to use a epoxy primer, but isn't that stuff a hassle to work with? Does it make a difference? Top coat will be acrylic enamel. Thanks for all the insight.

    Picture of the 100% correct '39 hubcap?

    As I learn more about these flatheads, it's apparent that Ford made seemingly about 500 different versions of the basic hupcap within a 10 year period.

    Quick steering column question please?

    I know I feel pretty stupid here but when I removed the steering lock from the steering column a month or so ago I did not take note of which hole in the column the lock rod should go through.
