Re: Wheels are back from the powder coater
She is back on the ground now. We enjoyed driving her in the local memorial day parade. All new brakes as well. I think the wheels and new tires turned out great. I am thinking I like it with no trim rings.

Re: Wheels are back from the powder coater
Looks great! I am partial to trim rings, though, Give it a while and see what you think.

I agree, they look great without the trim rings.

Re: Wheels are back from the powder coater
If you have your wheels powder coated it is IMPORTANT that you remove the finish from the area around where the lug nuts seat. That finish could loosen under torque and cause the lug nut's to come loose. Just sayin!!!!

Re: Wheels are back from the powder coater
I started with a small rat tail file or half round file . It takes a few minutes per wheel. Remember you don't want to enlarge the hole. I finished off with sandpaper. Just take off the finish. Go easy!

Re: Wheels are back from the powder coater
Does anyone have a single nice one (see OP quote below) that they would be willing to part with (sell). I have 4 nice ones on my 36 Pickup but I need one more for the spare.
Any info on where I might find one would be appreciated. Thanks Lon Quote from OP: It is an accessory hubcap. Part number 68-1150-B. From the 1937 Book... "Originally released in 1936 to be used with a special wheel with chrome plated spokes, it apparently found popularity with people who liked the look of having the painted wheel spokes between the hub cap and the wheel trim ring. This hub cap came only with the INDENTED "V8"and circle like the 1936 standard equipment hubcaps. It appears in the 7/27/36 accessory list and even some later lists, but not in the 1936 Chassis Parts List. on Last edited by Lon Jackson; 06-03-2020 at 09:42 AM. |

Re: Wheels are back from the powder coater
I use these hub nut washers on the wheels on my 48. Not sure if they'd work for yours though. https://www.macsautoparts.com/ford_m...passenger.html

Re: Wheels are back from the powder coater
Definitely remove the powder buildup at the lug nut seating areas. you may think your wheel is snugged up tight and come to find that the powder has turned loose under the pressure applied and your lug nuts are not tight any more. Happened to me and the wheel almost came loose, destroyed a few of the lugs threads and buggered up my newly painted skirt. When I finally got back home I discovered all the wheel lugs needed tightened. Could have been worse , but I still needed a new drum cause the lug threads were toasted. Wide 5 drums are getting scarce too($$$$)

Re: Wheels are back from the powder coater
Maybe when the guy who power coats the wheel should insert a " PLUG" is some kind into the lug holes is not to get the powder in there in the first place!

IF you are using an inner tube be sure you use "baby powder" and coat the whole tube so it will move with in the tire and rim with NO friction!!! |

Re: Wheels are back from the powder coater
I had my 35 ford wheels powdered coated then took them to a friends tire shop and had new tires mounted on the rims. No scuffs nor scratches.
