comp1839 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) got a little start on the wheels. Edited July 16, 2017 by comp1839 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codi Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 We're gonna have to talk my friend, I have questions after seeing how sweet those started off. I see how you did the lip and relief cuts, but how did you get that beautiful and accurate conical finish? Talk to you soon Dave and I'm really glad to see you back to this one. Any chance you'll get your video up for others to enjoy of your fired up 37'?? For those that haven't been lucky enough to see it yet, all I can say is its got a serious attitude. cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatGuy Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Terrific work as always Dave. Would love to see this video that Tim's talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Dave... now thats some incredible work on those wheels. I am sure it was a pain in the butt to get those angles correct on the rims and then to have them match. But then again you could probably do them in your sleep with youe machining experience. I am lookimg forward to your next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
