Hi Jim, impressive work you have going on here.

Just one question, I know you said your friend got you the wheels and fenders, any idea where they came from? I would love them for my current project.

Cheers, Kane.

Hi Kane, first off thanks for the kind comment. 2nd I'm sorry it took me alittle while to reply back here to your question. 3rd I asked my friend Mark about the rims and where he got them at.. he said he got most of his stuff from KFS and also the rims. I hope that info helps you out with your project as well. I would also love to see the project of yours if you like to share some photos.

Yes that red wire is a piece of phone line wire, I had to pin this piece togother to the other piece as I am getting the hang of the homemade micro blow toruch I built and it's heat settings and I warmed the solder up to much and had a mishap. So I decided for this one was to use a pin wire to hold the piece togother before I added alot of solder to the two pieces.

I hope you all enjoyed this small update.
