Frank,
After the first ding it's all Good as long as you don't get stuck behind the gravel or paving truck.

I think I'll start a restore thread for this car, and update just that with my issues, frustrations and observations.

Chet,
I think so, too. It appears the spare tire can be placed in side as the bottom is not fully enclosed. An advertisement shows it unlatched and folded down to hold milk cans, groceries, packages or whatever fits.
Another item was the hand crank. It was long enough to extend through the slats in the bumper. There was a metal guide attached to the bumper to prevent any damage.
No pics of these.

Hi all, Des from Melbourne Australia.
The one thing I am not on top of yet is the rear brake mounting plate, as left and right have different plates.
One has a larger hole that goes around bearing ~69mm flat hole, and the other ~54mm ~2.1" rounded/rolled radus hole.
I do not know if the axle housing is original Q or other, I assume Q.
Thank-you Des.

The reason there is a grease cap on the wire wheels is because they took the 1st hub caps/wheel discs for Plymouth. (I have a set on my wall.) They would require a something to hold the grease in place or at least keep it from spining out into the rear of the fancy new hub cap.

Chet, Thanks for the nice comments about our web site.
I couldn't sleep last night thinking about your wheel problem. I have come to the conclusion that it is probably the spokes. If they were just 1/8" wide face to face then the drum would be set in that far. It could be 1/8" on the front or back face or as little as 1/16" on each, but the result would be the same. I measured some old spokes I have off of two different cars and one set measures 1.256 ( presumably 1.25) and the other measures 1.267 just over the 1 and one quarter inches.
I didn't take a wheel off to see how far the hub extended past the drum. If you want I could do that relatively easy.
Hope this helps.
Happy Motoring, Gary
