Wheels cleaned up pretty good...new rubber next week and hopefully I'll get it into a rolling chassis.

Couple hours of polishing every spoke by hand...wheels aren't perfect but close for originals...the bike will be a rider for sure so no reason to spend more on rechrome,new spokes,lacing and truing

That looks really terrific! Just don't tell people that you spent a lot of time shining your horn... they might get the wrong idea! Shocked
