That's possible, yes. Bomar also suggested that. I'll do that if I have to.

Actually I want one more disc wheel so I can have 2 disc for front and 2 drum for rear. I won't ever rotate so that's not an issue.

I'll have Beno send you a new one if you send me one with Patina.......
 
That would work if you want one that much. I'll blast and paint anyway so makes no difference to me. I'll go pick out the best one and send you a pic.

Here ya go
 
OK, cool. I have one on perma loan from Bossman. I'll send him a new one if I have to but will try to find a used one to match his set. Bossman reminded me the drum wheels are riveted, disc are welded if you see some laying around.
 
Got home from the Memphis about 4 and dug into Project Patina a bit.

Tossed a wheel on to giggle and grin

Pulled the front axle out. Need to get the disc brake axle tomorrow from Chris.

I was hoping I could sneak the axle out without pulling the shackles but no dice. I hate OEM shackles.

I tied a rope to it and drug it out of my shop with the pink golf cart.
 
Between work and prepping my house for a 100 Grogan family reunion I managed to stab this axle.

I'm giving Andy anxiety not painting anything and Beno is not pleased with my plan to use the discs to turn the rotors.

Project Patina gets no paint.

None.
