lol but he should put a little copy right on the back of the wheeel in the mold that says vintagedragfan or vdf that way we keep in mind who helped us out with these awesome wheels.

[vintagedragfan]

satisfactory, Bill. Please proceed



kidding aside, Bill, the wheels look great. I recall discussing wheel designs with yousome weeks ago and these far exceed what I had expected you to come up with. They have a unique look, one that I'll wager to bet required an extremely tight tolerance to avoid life in your scrap barrel.

Very impressive [again ]

Hey buddy, yea when we were discussing this , i had no idea how I was going to come up with some thing even close to what I wanted, they are not exactly what I wanted but I do like them, this is more or less a prototype to see what would work or not, there are a lot of cuts on these trying to achieve the desired look, I think I can make another set with a lot less work! I think they are going to be worth the time and effort that I have in them, the new M/T's are exactly what should be under it! man they are fat!! I love the looks of all that meat stuffed under a car! as all ways, really appreciate your in put, your opinion is valued my friend

[vintagedragfan]

I concur, those are fantastic looking wheels, nice design and great craftsmanship.

Those wheels are awesome Bill. I'd love to have a set or two of them.

Mike,thank you!

hey Jon, I do have some friends who do resin casting, Im sure they would help me out if I asked, the thing is , they would only fit the super wide tires! thanks man

[vintagedragfan]

The wheels look good. Kinda like Keystone's on steroids.

thanks Jim, not quite Micro Nitro quality, I'm still learning!
