jeff f Posted August 10, 2018 I did some 1/8 scale work for a close friend and ended up with a TDR 392 . Decided to try an old 60S front wheel and tire . It's 18" with .015 music wire , which is a hair small . Will change to .020 . Thanks for looking in Jeff . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gasser59 Posted August 10, 2018 You're off to a great start. I'm dialed in for this build. Lovin' those front wheels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iBorg Posted August 11, 2018 The wheel looks right although I agree with you that the music wire is a touch small. Do you think the same technique would work with a 1/16 wheel which of course would be half the size? Thanks, Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAT-T Posted August 11, 2018 WOW, THAT FRONT WHEEL LOOKS GREAT JEFF. COULD YOU SHOW MORE DETAIL HOW THE HUB & SPOKES GO TOGETHER? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1930fordpickup Posted August 11, 2018 #1 this is going to be cool. #2 how is the shop that clean? LOL #3 did you turn up the tires also? They look good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Codi Posted August 11, 2018 Those are gorgeous Jeff. The build is going to be truly special that's obvious. I ESPECIALLY like the pic you provided of the jig you made so that you could do the wheels.............to machinists everywhere that is simplicity and beauty all rolled into one. Good one!! cheers, tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
