One more 34 Coupe {Hot Rod}
Getting cold in my neck of the woods so time for one more quick build before the BRRRR kicks in.
I built a coupe awhile back and thought it was time for a fast one, and I mean fast!!! LOL Chopped the roof for a little meaner look.

Still thinking about how to do the frame, so just trying a few left over parts till it all falls into place.

Added some mounts for the springs.

The insides are always fun and need to get them done and finished so I can put on the roof.

Figured while I was at it to made three engines for any up coming builds. I'm hoping these engines will be fast enough for the job.

How about a twin engine dragster.

I was just thinking about your hot rod build this morning Bruce and toying with the idea of a 32 Ford hot rod build myself...
The wheels would be no way be as good as yours and I'd chasing through a few threads here & on LJ's to work out sizes, dimensions and scales along with the "how to" for an engine but it just tickled my fancy to do some thing like yours or Bret's or a few other skilled toymakers/modelers.
Cheers, Peter

Crowie It' the ride that matters, the fun of the build.
Do us a toy makers version, one a kid would be proud to have and play with, with out falling apart the first time he looks at it.
Can you say Heavy Duty!!!

Here's the pictures I used to get the feel for the build.

I blow this picture up to the size of the back tire I'm using and now have a feel for the cars size.

Just use the sniping tool in windows to copy the picture off the screen, then print.
Hope this is help full.

I was wondering how you did them, now I know. I honestly thought you had a CNC machine to do them on as they all look so perfect.
What timber do you use for the tire and rim.
Thanks for the WIP pics.

These were a proof of concept so just made with poplar, if I would have known at the time they were going to turn out ok I would have use maple like the store bought ones.
Here's some pictures of the jig I use to make wheels.
Here's my blog on the jigs.
The hardest part is making a good indexer, that's what the saw blade is shown being used for.
A smaller indexer would work much better but at the time this was what I came up with.
This jig can do both straight and angled treads by changing the angle of the cut, once you find an angle you like drill some dowel holes in the base and you'll always be able to go directly to that angle.
Since I made this jig I made some smaller index plates to make my life easier.

Sorry guys I had already posted these tire pictures, some times it's hard to remember what I have posted to where.
