Cool project! I've been following on Instagram and just now realized you have a build thread too. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I was just reading through your blog and thought the way you did the rear rims was really cool! I looked at my rims and they are simple welds about 7" long. I guess you just cut those welds and then flipped them and rewelded them? Correct? Did you run into any issues? Let me know. Thanks!

Very interesting!

Yeah it was really pretty simple. Cut those welds, knock the center section out, clean up the welds, flip the center and hammer it back in w/ wood block at the backspace you want, true up, and weld. The most critical part of course is truing it up. I put it on the rear axle and spun it by hand and measured runout.

Super cool in my book!
