My Mobsteel wheels have arrived!!!!!


































What is Mobsteel you may be wondering?  They are a company out of Detroit (www.mobsteel.com). They build some badass vintage steel and they also have Detroit Steel Wheel Company (www.detroitsteelwheel.com) where I ordered my 18" steelies from. 

For shoes, I went with BF Goodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S.

The wheels look mean with those BFGs!

Here's a video of my front end's bag action (it may take a minute to load):

And, here's a couple of still shots of the same:



Today (8/27/16), I began work on shortening the frame.  Before cutting, I leveled and braced the frame with some angle iron.

I cut out 9 1/2 inches, in order to shorten the frame in order to the 110 inch wheel base the wagon is suppose to have.



Next, is to clean up the splice and measure the hell out of her, every which way, to make sure she's square before I tack her together (I don't want to drive down the road diagonally like a crab!).
