Got the rear drums back from Lynn Perry. Got them painted and mounted them on the rear axles. Everything is straight this time. Put a pre cleaning wax on the new wheels and then a final wax for protection. Mounted the front wheels on the front axles and was trying to put the center caps on. All the small screws would only go in a couple of threads and then would tighten up. I ended up calling my son-in-law Quinn (who has the same wheels) and asked him if he had any trouble with his. He had his applied at a garage and wasn't aware of any problems. He had me call the distributor for advice. The distributor said there may be some polishing liquid still in the holes. There are 5 screw holes in each of the 4 rims and all looked good with a flash light. He suggested I use a 8-32 tap and tap all the holes out. This I did and all screws went in fine. This just shows what quality control they have. Anyway, I do like the rims and the tires. I will put the rear ones on after I put the back fenders on.
Got the welting from Bob Peterson today so will start the process of putting the rear fenders on tomorrow. I will try NOT to scratch them.
