English sports car the Morgan
Weathers getting just right for some shop time. :roll:
Started on the Morgan yesterday.
I didn’t have any thick wood to work with so had to go about this project a little different than Dutchy shows in his How2’s.
Here’s a shot as I left the shop and a few along the way.

If I built another one the door and trunk sides would be one part.

Drilling the hole for the tire, quick and dirty, but once I load the tire it shouldn’t be seen. I hope!!! LOL

Here’s a couple a pictures of how I put it together.
Having to do it this way adds more work but will lighten it up a bit.

I know it doesn’t look like much but should be about right when done.
#4 over and out!:o

5 wheels just about there
When I got to this point It hit me I could add some spokes between what I already have and come up with something a little different.:o

So here was my testing on a buggered up rim.
Looks to me like it just might work?

I got 4 drilled up and tooth picks added Friday and just had to call it a day couldn’t look at another spoke. lol
Today I went out and was working on the last wheel and my wife comes out and I show her what I’m up to and she says, WHY DO YOU PUT YOUR SELF THOUGH THIS???
All I could say was because I can but I don’t think it will be happening again. LOL

They’re a long way from perfect but should work on the Morgan.
