Back to our regularly scheduled program:

My nephew picked up some 17" steelies out of area for me. I haven't had time to test install them to see if the backspacing is going to work. But if they work I'm going to have them as alternates to my Boyd's Smoothies. I also have 3 ea. 1951-52 car caps from a full set I got years ago when my old '46 lost a cap. They're semi ok. I took 0000 steel wool to them and a couple polished up fairly well but inside they're rusty as hell. I've got one soaking in phosphoric acid overnight and will post how good it comes out. That stuff is miraculous but these ma be too far gone. Planning to paint them and use with 17" ribbed beaut rings.
