Seems all of youa'll's "!st thing to go" - LOL - are fading into the 
sunset (or where ever they go ? ? ?).

Unless Moss (Mike Grant ??) has regressed, they ARE 'excellent'.  As has 
been mentioned/discussed before
on this List, Roger Moment has spent a LOT of time with Moss (Mike Grant 
and/or/both Kelvin Dodd ??) getting the Big Healeys wheels to 99% 
'perfect'.  The esteemed (and sorely missed) Rich Chrysler even 
mentioned it, IIRC.

It was also mentioned that on some wheels (the missing 1% <G> ?), emory 
paper/cloth be used to smooth out
the slight "casting edge" (inner diameter).

I checked one [1] of Ira's Google sites ---> photos and found a Nash 
Healey wheel he has allegedly done.  Further checking ---> Prices gives 
me the feeling that it must have run around $ 1,000.00+ ! ? ! ?  And a 
STANDARD Big Healey wheel would run around @ $ 800.00 +/- NOT including 
<G> ! !

But a good number of repros for dat 'number' ! ! !  LOL

Yes, I would have normally at least 'mentioned' "...check the 
Archives..." but it would seem that the esteemed and honourable Mr. Mark 
J.Bradakis is slaving away their 'rebuild' ! ! !  THANKS YOU, Mark.
