Joseph Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Romell, Really nice work! I am not only amazed at what you are able to fabricate, but also how quickly you are able to produce it. Fantastic! Cheers, Joseph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some foose replicas on the way that are closer to my 1:1 wheels (altho its been 4 weeks since I ordered them) hopefully they will be here this week.

Romell R Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hey fellas i wokeup and remebered that my 1:1 will have a set of wheelie bars so I pulled out the plans for em and got busy converting inches to milimeters. heres what I came up with.....

Jim Gibbons Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I believe my machinist friend is coming back this week from vacation. I'm going to do a 3D exploded view drawing and email it to him for comments about how to best approach maching your actual wheels at some point. I'll also email you a sketch when I get it done to get some 1:1 measurements to scale down. This might take a while (sorry, been a bit busy here w/ house business.) It's great that you will be able to unbolt the wheels you ordered, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romell R Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 more assembaly Heres the finished bars done in chrome Alclad I'll be fabricating wheels for them today these are the wheels for my 1:1 wheelie bars I had them made to resemble my rims.

Romell R Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 hey im back again with another update. not a big one just the wheeliebar wheels.... I started with a pices of brass tube and cut two pieces about 2mm thick to use as the rims... next I used a smaller diameter piece of tube (sorry I dont remember the size as these are scrap tubbing) as the hub of the wheels and i flatened out some silver solder to use as the spokes for the rim.... heres the new wheeliebar wheels all i need now is tires.... Once again i used solder to make the tires I flatened it just a little then wrapped it around some tube the same size as the rims and wala! wheeliebar tires. All thats left is paint and they'll be ready to install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Sauber Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Little rubber 0-rings may work better for the wheelie-bar tires...Just a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart-Resins Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Dang man, look at you go with them! WOW! I like seeing them in brass, kinda inspires me to try a set! Any sizes there for us on them? LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparWoman Jamie Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Does anyone happen to have a floor jack handy? I think I need one to get my jaw up off the floor! LOL . And maybe a good slap to see if I am dreaming or away.. because each time I come to this thread. Ol Romell has done something else that is how can I put this.. shocking and surprising to see.. but then again maybe I shouldn't be so surprise though LOL. Romell is the mostly the only other person that I know besides myself that loves to really add detail and then more detail to a model car really well.
