I thought I would go out to the shop and do a little work yesterday. I had a set of hubs I picked up that needed cleaning up. I pressed out the studs and old bearing races. Cleaned the studs and did the black oxide treatment to them.I had the hubs in the parts washer to get the gunk off. Cleaned as much as possible, then off to the bead blaster after I taped everything up. From there I took them to the wire wheel and polished them up. Then two coats of baked on high temp caliper clear. I know they will be unseen parts but I know they have been done to my satisfaction. My wife says I an getting OCD in my old age.

I think your wife is right! But that is why when your selling anything, I am always in line to buy from you.. Those look sweet!! If you really have OCD ( I have been told same.) then it does not matter if anyone can see what you did, as long as you know you did the work to your satisfaction.. Good Job!! Joe |

Great work, even if it is a little over the top. However, whenever you take a wheel off, you get a little extra satisfaction gazing at those hubs.

Hey those look very similar to mine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (I got my 5-lug pieces from Mark). Now, let's hide those pretty hubs behind some wheels and make it em' spin!
