Thx. Ralph, Trying to get some work done on it, but this nice weather is killing model time lol.

Looking good Ralph

Thx. Brian, Once i get the other front wheel done i will start on the rearend.

After 1 failed attempt to do the spokes for the front wheel, i made another one and got it right this time. Pretty happy for my first front wheel, One more to go. This is a spindle mount wheel, i still have to make the cap that will be threaded to hold the wheel on. It kind of looks like a 17" front wheel. Did a little mock up, this is close to what the ride height will be. The wheel still needs a final polish, and in the mock up the front wheel will actually sit in more from the fender.

Really like your builds, very clean work. color looks great.

This is a bad time of the year for me to get anything done now with the nice weather as i do alot of Road cycling and mountain biking, plus on top of that i'm redoing the walls in my house with insulation. I'm going to still try and get an hour in here and there. Any how, here's a little update on a front wheel. I just picked a picture of a front weld wheel i liked and went for it, i'm pretty much just winging this wheel to some extent, The spokes will be thinner than the one's on the rear wheel. Between the face and outer lip i put a 45Deg. chamfer( guess that's what you would call it lol), It's hard to see in the pictures. Going to start on the spokes tommarrow night, Then i will need to make a cap for the wheel. I want these to look like spindle mount wheels.

Chris, Thank you. The body is a 2012 promod camaro but you will have the option to get it with the 2013 front end also, It will be available in all scales. They should be available soon. Thank you Dale

Thx. Guys, should have a front wheel update tonight.

Nice work Chris, Really dig all the rivets.

Great work Scott, love your dedication to this project.

Thx., Jimmy Yes first time Dan Thx. Chris, Not sure about a natural, But i'm learning quick. Dave. Thx., I would have never gotten this far with out your help. I did this beadlock ring out as a test piece, But i like so i may stick with it, I really wanted to do some scalloped rings but that may have to wait till get some more time on the mill, the ring is raw right off the mill. Going to get the tires sanded and painted next to see what the whole package looks like. I need to order some hardware for my hubs and the rings. just need to figure out what size for the rings.

Thx. Bill and Brian, I was finally able to get the other wheel finished. I wanted some more detail in the star so i did something around the logs holes, i think they turned out pretty good. There not 100% perfect but once it's all together nobody will even notice the tiny imperfections. Going to start working on the beadlock rings tonight, once there done i can start the front wheels. Not sure if i'm doing single or duble beadlocks yet.

Nice work on the Photetch Scott, Whole build is looking good.

Nice work on the front Tires Dave.

Great build, You have the small cars nailed.

Great stuff Scott, glad to see you back on this.

Love seeing your stuff Rick, such clean work.

Thx. Dirk, the star isn't as hard as i thought once i got it figured out and made sure to watch my hand wheels and the degrees i was moving it etc. I actually kind of cheated i guess you could say, i went around the wheel first using a center drill and layed out small holes to use as a guide for the pattern. worked out pretty good, now i need to step it up a notch on the next set.

Bill, any updates?

Thx Dave, It will need to be mini tubbed and the rails moved, will probably go ladder bar now lol and will make all new frame rails. I guess it's pretty much turning into a back half car, stil contemplating doing pockets where the lugs go, but since it's my first wheel i may leave it as is. once the other wheel is done i will start cutting up the backend. Probably going to do a fab 9 out of brass and try to do my own center section, i will also do the whole front suspension. Going to use the TDR bigblock and make my own top end and do a gear driven procharger. going to alot of aluminum flying lol.

Thx. Dave, wouldn't have gotten this far with out your help, much appreciated. I remember seeing how you did your front dragster wheel and it just clicked. Thx. Scott and Leonard. Well i must say i'm pretty pumped how this wheel is turning out, I know it's just a flat star wheel, but i never thought i would be able to pull it off. Here is the wheel with a quick sand and polish and mocked up in the TDR Drag radial and under the body. This car is changing to more of a stock suspension drag/street car. This weekend i will get the other rim and center done then start working on the beadlock rings. I have so many ideas on stuff i want to machine for this car, It's going to be a blast. last picture is of another future 1/12th project. oh yeahh!

Looks sick Tyrone, you nailed it..

Not a fan of gold, but it still looks killer.

nice to see you back on this Chris, Sucks about the engine being off. Best bet at this point i would think is adding styrene to the back of the block. No one will ever know.

Thx. fellas, well i finally figured out how to do a star pattern . It's just a flat surface but i'm very happy with the way it turned out. I didn't cut it off the piece of stock yet, I'm trying to decide if i want to run a small ball mill down the center of the spokes or not. I have never done this and don't really wanna mess up this center, also contemplating doing cut outs where the lugs sit. this is my 3rd try at stars, it's been a learning curve for sure. but lots of fun, i could just do this all day and never build a model lol.
