ridinframe Posted May 16, 2017 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
KWT Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 I am definitely interested in seeing this one come together
ridinframe Posted May 17, 2017 Author Posted May 17, 2017 I am definitely interested in seeing this one come togetherthanks, me too.
ridinframe Posted May 18, 2017 Author 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.
Oldriginal86 Posted May 19, 2017 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.
DumpyDan Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 Holy cow this is awesome.....making truck wheels from plastic piping..........Gonna be watching
gatorincebu Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Cool idea and workmanship on making the wheels. Be Well Gator
misterNNL Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Very creative solution for making unique wheels and tires.I'll be tuning in for your updated posts.
ridinframe Posted June 4, 2017 Author Posted June 4, 2017 took a little detour, still gonna be a dually, just making a utility bed for it also. Hopefully I'll start paint soon, gonna go with a worn/patina paint job..
dodgelover Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 This is awesome. Never thought about pvc like that before.
