I'm a little confused, what happened to the stud that was tacked on with the nut at the 3:32 mark? How does it connect to the longer one that gets cut off later in the video.
@RetroRidesRendezvous-us5mc22 күн бұрын
The nut isn't tacked onto the stud, it's tacked onto the wheelcover. The stud your see at 3:32 is just a bolt I used to hold the nut in place. Later, that nut and the entire wheelcover are threaded onto the stud that attaches to the spindle. Thanks!

I’m new at upholstery also. On the wrinkles try gluing the vinyl to the sew foam. Helps keep everything in place as sewing shrinkage happens. Hope this helps.

the first time I ever saw spinner rims had a very similar feel. the guy had weighted the spinners on one side so the wouldn't turn. I looked over and this rusty suburban with massive chrome rims was coming across the parking lot, but at the time I looked he was crossing a puddle, and the rims where not spinning so I thought he somehow managed to hydroplane at 25 mph, it took my brain a second to figure out what was actually going on.

Great look, not real sure about 3/8" threaded hole down the center of a 3/4 unf wheel bearing retainer thread though. Also a lot of weight hanging from the stud, if you hit a bit of a bump. But I suppose with the big Xplys it isnt an issue.
