Did it not come with the original wheels? Some people have extras.

Car came missing drums and wheels/tires from one side. It looks like the previous owner was in the middle of doing a brake job when something happened.
I found a new master cylinder and brake cylinders in the trunk.

My guess is he took the drums to a shop to be turned and never came back for them.

Home away from home

I have a '47 Custom Super parts car near Scottsville, KY. It has 4 or 5 rims (if there's a spare) plus the hubs on it, none of which I intend to use. I also have a bodiless frame parked next to it with the same stuff on it. If you're ever out that way,I can get you connected with the landlady to collect that stuff - some disassembly required. I'm in VA for the foreseeable.

If you're not having fun, maybe it's your own damned fault.

I was measuring incorrectly. They are indeed 5 inch 5 lug.

Now, if I can just find some drums.

I know a guy in PA that for sure has some. Are you willing to have them mailed to you?

If the price isn't too steep.

I'm heading up to see family in Philly soon. Maybe I could pick up?

Let me see if I can find anything closer. that's a 16 hour drive round-trip for me.

Thanks for the info. I'll keep it in mind.
