Geez guys I feel bad , I seen these on ebay and they were new reproductions and I can't remember where damn!
However, after exausting myself looking for that seller, I found one for sale.

It is on ebay and is really good. punch in antique hub caps. The sellers name is theovette his seller number is 670. there is one and a half days left for bids.

I will keep looking.
Cheers and regards

1929luv, did you know that e-bay has nos hub caps for your car?
They are of good quality.
Cheers

Hey,
I'm thinkin bushing in water pump and cavitation is present.
This will definately cause poor circulation.

Hope you get it fixed soon.
Regards

Hi Rusty,
Over time, water is leathal to wood.
That's just the way it is. It is hygroscopic meaning it takes on and gives off moisture.

Eventually whatever is put on there will come off with the moisture.
I coated mine with Minwax Helmsman Urethane and left the niples at the felloe exposed.
Eventually these will peel and have to be re-coated but in the meantime they do look good.

Cheers

Hi guys and thanks.
Yup these spokes had to be pressed on. I redid the hub and  the felloe and tightened each wheel.

Allso installed new bolts and nuts + put new expansion packing between each spoke if they get wet they will yell

How many pictures are we allowed to post at a time?  When I get it figured out I will post a few.

I made new hindges and pins for the rims and welded them on (the hindges that is)

I blasted and painted the rims with Por 50 rust paint let them cure, sanded then sprayed them with Centari high gloss Acrylic enamel.

Made new rubber boots for the rims out of high quality rubber roofing.

Hopefully I won't get a flat for a while.

Cheers people
OK Found out how many pictures are allowed

Nice car but I really hate it when these things are hot rodded.
MHO

Wheels and rims are all done, spokes re-finished and put back together (what a knightmare )
Anyway they look great.

Now I have a question and hopping someone has experienced this.

What is the procedure for mounting the tire on the rim???
I have the special tool for spreading the split rim.
Thanks

Well people, the engine has been put back together.
New gaskets came in finally.

Lightly honed and with the old rings, lots of compression.
Hav'nt tried starting her yet but will let you all know down the road.
Cheers

Thanks Chet,
Yeah  with the primary compression ring inside the cylinder there is 1/8" =.125 gap there should only be 15 thou!
The engine looks good inside so I'm going to lightly hone it and put it back together with the old rings. (cause I can't get any 60 over)

I will send pictures at a later date so all can share.
Also I had to make the front motor mount (both Plates ) and used eurethane. should work.
Thanks for this site.
Regards,
Emery

Hi people.
We got a gazzilion hours on this car and we're only 10% done
Big question, with explanation= Took the engine appart because it had zero compression. Once it was appart we found the valves were toast. (no problem)
Done the valves and we noticed the cylinder walls were like new (no scores, no ridge etc.) someone did the engine at some time before we got the car and put 60 over pistons in.

Now, after measuring etc. it says we are supposed to have.0015 clearance. Well, we have almost an ieghth of an inch. Ok it ran before so I figure we get a new set of rings right?
Good luck with that they are supposed to be 60 over and can't get them any where in the universe (that i know of).

Ok enough of the BS heres the question. I'm thinkin put the thing back together the way it was. Am I looking for big trouble?? I thought maybe some of you Pl 29 gurrus could answer that.

BTW still no luck on wood roof measurements but the rest is going good (I think)
Cheers and thanks all for this great site
Respect,
Emery

Gary,
Hope I didn't misslead you, the dust cover was for the machinist to measure the threads.
They are turned inside the pipe, sorry for not making myself clear.

Good luck to you.
Cheers

Hi Gary,
They are real easy to make.
I made one for the 29

Just take the dust cover and have a macinest thread a 2'' long piece of pipe inside, cap one end and weld a nut on it. Then find a long bolt and voila a hub puller.
Worked for me.
Cheers and good luck.

Hello everyone.
My Name is Emery and I am new to the forum as you will already have guessed.
I'm hoping to get some information on restoring a 1929 Plymouth Model U 4dr sedan.

Having said that, I am a retired major collision technician and have retored some later model cars and trucks. So, I may be able to
help others in whatever way I can.

The Plymouth's structural integrety depends on the wood frame work which is almost non exsistant on this car.
If anyone can shed some light as to where I might get pictures,measurements or even some kind of kit for the roof rails it would be nice.

I am handy with wood and have the nessesary equipment but its hard to copy "air"

Thank you for allowing me to join this forum and I wish you all well and good luck on your projects.
If I can help please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you again.

Emery
