Dr. Cranky Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks, Don, and yes the wheels are very cool. I love them. Thanks, John H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychographic Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 By the way, the wheels are really really hard to squeeze into the tires, so I am hoping my paint will not get scuffed or wrinkled on the way in. Can't you sand the hole in the tire to enlarge it a tiny bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 David, it can be done, but the tires are so beautifully cast that I don't want to take any chance with them, other than sanding off their sheen and making them look a bit road weary.

Dragfreak Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Looks like a great kit i will definately pick one up. drilling out the ports makes them look 10x better and nice touch with the crank in the front! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks, Jason. I am sanding down some parts and then it's primer time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Billy Gibbons! On that note... am I the only one a bit confused by the fact that Frank Beard is the only guy in ZZ Top who doesn't have a beard? Not necessarily... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooneyzs Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Virgil... I like where this build is heading...Looking good so far. Did you drill the holes in the interior or did it come like that in the kit?? Digging It! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 A 'Cranky-shaft' frame-horn spreader-bar. Kool !! This thing does look like it's worth the price of admission for the parts, but the relief on the firewall appears to be pretty shallow in these pix.

rmvw guy Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I absolutely love those wheels! How did I not notice the crankshaft spreader bar? That is just too good! You just blow me away with how you have a vision from the beginning and it all fits at the end. I'm excited!!! I want to see your guitar Doc, please, please!!!!

Did you drill the holes in the interior or did it come like that in the kit?? Digging It! Chris, I drilled them out. Took a while, but it looks better.I will paint the guitar last, I think, as the crowning last touch. We still have a ways to go. Spent the day spraying primer.
