	I was lucky to have all six wheels come with the car. Rusted spokes  and rims were treated, The tires were all kinds and mostly truck types. All were discarded.		Wheel with the period Dunlop thread tyre mounted.
	A hand dismounting fixture/tool was used to work on tire removal shown here.  Special adaptors were needed  to fit the Dunlop spoke wheels.  This is the old  school way.  Done right, it does not damage the  wheel or tires.		A wheel and tyre on the car.
	These wheels are in the primer stage or just  done with the final finish.  One at a time,  they were taken down and put on a hub so they could be spun to allow the paint to be  applied slowly from many angles to get  coverage without runs. The spinning hub was  an extra that had  bearings so as to spin when affixed to a stand.		One of two spare tyres in the side mount well.
