The tires arrrived at the Roadway terminal in Indianapolis on Friday. I picked them up Saturday morning. That terminal has over 1,000 semis in there. I got one main tire/rim on Sunday after applying two coats of paint on the hub and it had set up. the other tire/rim will go on this evening. I had a hard time getting the H rim off because someone had mounted it with the welded joints NOT positioned in the slot on the hub.

Go fetch the tin off of my 1946 H, paint them and decal everything and do some touchup painting. Someday I will get serious about removing the wheel weights. The bolts are BIG TIME stuck in the hub. I am at 13.5 hours and she is running quite well except for the timing being off at the slower speeds. I set the distributor so that its running very smooth above 1,000 RPM for now. When this is a
