FEDs on trailers
gasserx:
I did see that Tim :D Very cool! How long is your car?
Tim Jones:
It's styled after a 1958 Chassis Research car, 106 wheelbase
Dolmetsch:
That would be too long for me. I wouldn't be able to see the front wheels. Mine is 96.
So where do all the wire wheels come from? Can you get them for any spindle. (I have Chevy handy van spindles on my front axle) or just early Ford or Anglia spindles.

PalliP:
If you are in Norway the I think the easiest solutions and cheapest is to modify a boat trailer
Something like this.

At least this is the way I was thinkin about With my Project.
JrFuel Hayden:
DON, no not every spindle, but I have made/modified hubs to fit odd-ball spindles. Like Euro M/C side car wheels, Fiat spindles, airplane wire wheels, etc.
I have an inventory of odd hubs that I may be able to fit your spindles. I just made a set of wheels and tires for the "Super Snake" Don's 67' FED SOHC dragster, and I had the exact hubs, rims, and tires he ran on his car in 1967.
So if you'd like some wire spoke wheels on your slant 6, call me, 805-444-4489, and think about sending me one of your spindles, when you are ready for some "Down Time".
And once we have hubs that will work on your spindles, then think about what size wheels and tires you'd like, that will change the look of your Hot Rod.
