I am curious if Stutzman "dished" those front wheels? I have heard such wonderful things about his craftsmanship as well as his character. When I talked with him, he seemed unaware that the front wheels in the early "teens" were dished.

I know there is some question if it really matters but from what I have read it helps to square the tread due to the amount of chamber on those cars.
But beyond that really, is the fact that the spokes and felloes I have now are original and would like to stay true to what was there, if it is possible and reasonable.
