Here are a final couple of pics. The hub and spokes have been removed from the rim. I soaked the rim in a Phos bath for 4 days and then sandblasted the inside surface. I then took a brass wire wheel to the surface to produce a rust free surface. The surface is pitted but the rim is salvageable. I then masked off the inside to apply a 2 part primer then an acrylic enamel overcoat.



After painting and buffing the inside chrome I intend to polish the hub to a mirror shine, re-lace the hub to the rim and true the wheel. Then it will be ready for rubber
