The new rims look very nice. Have you tried to actually mount them on your discs. One thing that seems to not be present is the flat spots that line up with the Jaxon mounting lugs. I see a ramp type area - is that what replaces those flats on the new rims? Thanks - Art

The rims that Steve hood makes don't have the 4 flats pressed into them from the inside to locate them on the felloe,but have a raised ridge around the entire internal circumference that sits snugly on the outer lip of the wheel felloe,that is visible in the photos.I had a set of 20" rims made exactly the same for both my '27 & '29 Oldsmobiles and they are a perfect fit,and the wheels on my '29 never even needed balancing.

Good idea to have two sets of shoes for baby!
I think Phosphoric acid is used to dissolve rust and prevent further rusting. Others should comment on this.
When I need to accellerate the rusty process, I squirt a 50/50 mixture of Hydrogen Peroxide and White Vinegar. After a few days, it looks quite old (and good!).
Cheers, Dean That explains this, I guess. Ha ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/f9BXaSJ.jpg) I'll give the hydrogen peroxide, vinegar and salt a try.

You might need to hit the surface with some emery cloth to clean up any surface that the phosphoric acid created.
Cheers, Dean

Cheers, Dean I'm not too worried about that. Have you seen the car? Ha Here are the rims before I sprayed them with vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and salt: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/TLj6G5E.jpg) Seconds later: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ejI1cm4.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/IEGIAjC.jpg) I'll be repeating this every evening this week. I hope to install them on the car Friday or Saturday.

it's a fine looking 26 , and I think that you have matched the patina with the rims and know that they they aren't going to fail .
The spokes have certainly come up well with Linseed
