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

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,

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
