    American made Hubcaps first design

    This is the base for the hubcaps I plan to manufacture. I have more work to do in cleaning a prep to ensure clean and neat molds. It’s a start and my sons love the design. Simply 60’s is the name for these.

    Today the boys were riding together for the first time. The brake setup we ran is at best dicey!! That needs attention on the old Streaker Kart.
