These slightly updated 5-spokes look modern and classic at the same time.

IMO the Keystones still look pretty good and they're the same era as the Roadrunner.

Well, I took a break from the car for our camping trip and when I got home from that trip my power was out in the shop. An underground wire feeding power to my shop fried and we had to get an electrician out with a locator to find the bad spot in the wire, dig it up and fix it. The power is back on now so I should be able to start moving on it again.

I know, I know... We also have some plans to spend a little time at our deer camp this long weekend too but I will try to reserve a day for working on the car.

Take your time, Dave. No hurry at all, despite what these jokers say.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

My late high school years/early college years were spent as a Crager/Keystone expert. After breaking the first 10 or so on a tire machine I figured out the perfect combo of cones/rubber to change tires on each type free. Of course there were some big dudes about to kill my azz for busting their rims. I learned quick!
Apparently nobody else had the formula, because I was very popular with the black Richmond, VA crowd working with those rims.
Most of the white guys stuck with steel wheels. I suppose just to be on the "other team". I made more money on the Cragers.

Now that I'm thinking about it, the worst thing about those wheels was the brittle metal.
The next worst thing was the stupid "unilug" set up with oval washers and deep shank lug nuts. Just stupid. I hope they've done better..

I've never cared for the damn unilug setup either. Mine have the round washers with a centered hole so I suppose they are a bit better than the oval washer setup but not by much. I will have a decent set of wheels on someday that center correctly and securely. No guys, the project didn't die. Neglected yes but it's still here. I accidentally took a month off from the project. A camping/canoe vacation with the family followed by a power outage in my shop and playing catch up with mowing and seasonal chores both at home and at deer camp have been keeping me busy. Plus my oldest son and I did a quick refurb on a nice little 14' aluminum fishing boat, motor and trailer... which of course we had to try out a little... But my shop power is back up, I can now weld again, and run the air compressor... no excuses now. I promise I'll get back after it and start posting pictures again. I left off with the back glass out and was cutting out some rust in the bottom of the window channel and getting ready to fit some new metal patches. Front glass will be next and I suppose I can prime the main car body soon and move on to body work.
