The wheels were torn down, I polished the outsides of the hubs, the flanges where the spokes go, masked that off and painted the inside finned areas with vht caliper paint.
The rims were in great shape, cleaned up nice with chrome polish and 0000 steel wool.
I got 2 sets of stainless steel spokes from Buchanon's in california, and had em laced trued and balanced by Nick at GP Cyclesports in Yorkville, IL.
I cleaned up the pipes, and replaced the clamps and heat shields with new.
Most all the hardware is original, after I hand polished every peice.
Brackets and things that were zinc plated, I acid dipped, then replated with a lil gizmo I made outa a 5 gallon bucket and "some stuff"
