Romell R Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 Thx go out to Chris & John for your kind words Hey fellas i have a small update (And I do mean small) I went out and purchased a package of cheap tooth brushes so i can make the wheels for the wheelie bars. the color of the plastic is very close to 1:1 wheelie wheels. So lets get to it shall we. The pack had four differant colors so i decieded to go with the orange. the size wheel im shooting for is 13/64th very close to scale , this staedtler combo circle template will help me with accuracy. I drill a hole in a small piece of the plastic then fasten it to the cutting wheel chuck of my dremel , then I used jewellers files to get the plastic into shape. as you can see in the back ground I already have the first wheel done. here we have all the pieces and the final product... the wheels have brass tube inserted as a axle.... Stay tunned for more tomarrow
Romell R Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 Great idea!, like the way they turned out! Thx Richard ,and I got those parts yesturday thx again for your help.
Ben Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Preetttty smart idea Romell! The little wheels look perfect! I would have probably robbed the tiny wheels from one of those "finger" skate boards. I wonder if they have translucent wheels on those?
Dragracer Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 As I said before, no problem, they were just sitting around, at now they will be doing something!, I was kinda figuring they would have got there sooner, oh well, at least they arrived. Daytona looks great, I love it!

Romell R Posted June 25, 2011 Author Posted June 25, 2011 Rommel! What a great idea on the coil overs. They look fantastic! What did you use for the adjusting nut? Scott Hey Scott I used a larger diameter piece of aluminum tube and threded it on the inside, then cut it to size.
