It's amazing that you did such high quality work and got it done so quickly.

Not sure 19 months was quick but we will go with that. ;) Feels so good to get my life back! Back to working 5 days a week and coming in on weekends to putz around instead of putting 20-24 hours working on this car each weekend.

What solved the trim ring fitment issue ?

For the time being it is going to be a gigantic paperweight until later this summer/fall when we will be taking it to several shows. Two classic car museums have requested it for their displays so we are looking into that as well. I don't have room in the shop, at the house or in our warehouse so that has become an issue. Anyone want to keep it at their house? ;)

Finally locating a correct set of second design trim rings. Both sets of originals that we had located were reconditioned and because the steel bands were not crimped properly they twisted the bands not allowing all 4 of the clips to hold the outer lip of the wheel. Even the two that were clipped on would fall off just by blinking your eye so they would never have stayed on the wheels when in motion. The NOS 3rd design rings that were donated to us would not fit the wheels for some odd reason so they were returned. However, the center caps were retained and are on the car.
