don't forget about the mods made to 'all' roadster wheels in 1962 when elvis's sport roadster had a wheel 'fail' on some 'hard cornering' by him..ford ck'd things out anf found the strengh was not enough for 'hard cornering' and did not a lot of lawsuits about it, so all wheels were 'recalled' by ford and were modified by changing the 1/4 inch dia. spokes with 5/16 ones..make sure your wheels have the thicker spokes......bye....ed mlynek
