WANTED: I am looking for a Firestone or Cleveland 5.00 X 5 Wheel that will fit the double nose fork for the Coupe. Anyone have a spare?? Please contact me off net with price. The only area of the coupe that I can not inspect during it's restoration is the area behind the rear spar. I decided to remove the after wing fairings to see what I could see. I finished removing the lower rear wing fairings and bottom skin (rear of wing to rear spar only) on stub wings today and DID find corrosion that I could not see by looking into hole in the end of the stub wing located behind the rear spar with a bright light inserted into the hole behind frame 'E'. Pictures will be available later today. If you would like to see them, contact me off net and I'll send them to you. Basically besides light skin corrosion I found one of the aft former ribs (the short ribs behind the rear spar) corroded in half! Fortunately, there was no corrosion on the rear spar itself. This area of the coupe CAN NOT be inspected. It took me two hours per side to remove all the rivets on that side. Did one side Saturday, second on Sunday. I used a rivet removal tool that cost $52.00 at Cleveland Tools. Makes drilling out dome head rivets kids play. The area was totally filthy and had a huge accumulation of dirt, grease, dried oil, miscellaneous nuts bolts and screws. The side with the oil was not corroded but the side with only dirt was the bad side. If anyone has a spare center section, I need the most inboard after former rib for the right side. This rib supports the inboard side of the right walkway. If I can't find one, I'll have to make one from sheet aluminum.
