crazyrichard Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 and went on with the welder changed it into a mig welder instead of with a stick .. added a frnt wall on the cart with handle , straps on the gas cilinders (wanted chains but dint have something) a spare coil with wire but i need to redo the wire since this was made out of a few shorter peices i could not get it tight on there so that will be changed some ambiance pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 thnx ron ! when i went on the lowbudget chopperbuild forum i'm a member off some experts in metalshaping said the kickwheel and rollers looked awsome ut the thing needed to be strenghtened so i cut of the old and made a whole new plate that runs from top to botton with a curve.. maybe if i would take a whole day i could make one even better but my goal is to make some simpler equipment since i have so much to make .. and some stuff more detailed .. in the end lots of people weld some english wheels together with function over form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 and gave it some washes / drybrushing again and the staff jumped up out of their chairs to test it out .. one grabbed a piece of aluminium sheetmetal and in no time got a nice curve >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 You've done some very cool pieces for this, Richard! Everytime I look it seems you've put together another mini masterpiece!! I gotta ask...what's left to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
