ridinframe Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Got this 65 chevy kit for valentines. I don't have much time anymore to build but, I have body dropped it and I want to turn it into a dually with semi wheels, which aren't as easy to find and when I did find them they weren't very cheap.. I decided to make my own using 3/4 pvc pipe and cutting them to the right width and used a router to rout the lip and channel of the wheel.. I'll have more pics of me building the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridinframe Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Got a little more done to the wheels. I used a pvc cap and cut it to fit snug, I just have to make the center section and drill the holes. It's a lot of work but my time cost me nothing and I have a total of 5 dollars Into all the wheels once they're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldriginal86 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I've been working off and on a '64. Won't be a dually though. Body dropped and custom frame. There lies the problem, the frame. On my third design. Can't wait to see what you do here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
