Thanks for the compliments! Removed the Torq Thrusts and installed steel wheels (painted gold). Mounted up the G-78's and H-78's. Played with the rear leaf spring pack again. Hammered and straitened the 1953 Cadillac hubcaps, made them so they would work with my wheels. Then I polished them to beyond a mirror finish! Installed domed bullet in middle of caps. Any one looking for a really nice dropped axle for an F1?

Beautiful! The hubcaps are a nice change from alloys.

You nailed it but I still think it's in 1951-1952.
