Wheels look terrific Ross. Did you do the spokes on your jig?
New wheels Fitted Now
I am back.It seems ages.Well it has been.
I have finally fitted the spoked wheels and rear axle.I am also working an another rear axle ,as I am not happy with the current one.
I have glued the front and rear bumpers on.You cant see the rear yet as it is fitted to the tray.I dropped the tray and it has a couple of dents.
After wiping away a little tear I thought what the heck it could get a dent like that at anytime.
Only some minor things to do now but they take time,then a good cleanup
I don't seem to be able to get enough spare time at the moment:~
PS To Munruben,I didn't do the spokes on my jig,I have had these wheels for awhile now so I am using them.
I could easily make the spoke and hub setup now.The rim has me now got me beat.I only have a little metal jewelers lathe and the chuck wont hold wood very well.
I am thinking of getting another metal lathe and make an adapter to take a wood chuck and the tool rest(or what ever you call that bit.:U
I need a metal lathe so that might be the answer.:2tsup:
Looking great Aussie, cant wait to see it finished. :2tsup:
i know going soon :sleep6:
Love it Ross and the tow bar just adds great authenticity to it. I almost feel like I could jump in it an drive it away. Great work as always.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:
Hi Aussie, the truck's looking great.:2tsup: You know it's a good piece of work when it looks that good and its still unfinished.:D
I wondered what sort of finish you used on it, it's got a great look.:)
cheers, billy:fireman:
hey Aussie, have you noticed how many people have looked at your car build thread? nearly 10,000
thats gotta be a record!
cheers, billy
