Hi all,
If you are interested I have put together some photos of how made the spoked wheels and tyres for my T Model Ford Ute
The first photo shows finished wheel and tyre. The tyre and rim was 2 X 16mm MDF glued together. Both cut out using bandsaw (outer) and jigsaw (inner). The outside were sanded using plate sander - internals using spindle sander. The hub was turned in lathe. The 10 spokes were sped using a protractor. The outer rim drilled to take spokes. Inner hub aligned and drilled. The rim holes were countersunk so the spokes wouldn't catch on the outer tyre. The tyre and rim are a press it.

Further Work in Progress.
Most of the work is still just sitting there as I need to dismantle to paint and move the ute around. Nothing really glued or secured in position.

I like this build a lot mate, it reminds me of one of the first larger model trucks I build years ago.
It all looks like it's coming together really well.
Trevor.

The larger the scale the more detail can be added.
And I'm sure you'll find that it's not just the grown ups who like it.
Kids will go nuts!
You may like to think about building a scaled petrol pump to go with it.
They look really great standing beside the car.
Or just go nuts and build a service station, then you'll need a tow truck as well.
As for were to put it all "Don't Worry About It" just have great fun build it!
Cheers mate.

Hi guys,
The Bakery van is 660m long, 330mm high and 330mm wide. It took me approximately 100 hours to complete it. I love Fords. They are the best.
Model T ute is progressing. Will post some more photos soon.
Have a great day.
