Reeves Racing Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 The wheels look very sharp. Looks like the front on the left has necked spokes near the rim. Is it supposed to be that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp1839 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 thanks to all of you guys for responding!!!! much appreciated. mitch, nope, the wheel isn't supposed to be that way. i made an error in my calculation at the bottom of the spoke and i thought i could live with it. hehe. turns out i can't. i started a new set of front wheels earlier in the week. they will be black anodized (instead of being painted black) and then the spoke details machined. so, they should look as good as the the real ones weld produces.

Reeves Racing Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I am sure the new ones will look great Dave. As much work as you have in this build I'm glad you are going to redo the front wheels. Looking forward to more pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unatural Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Wow!! I was following this one on the old build thread, but I rarely come on the site, so I didn't see this continuation.

comp1839 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 thanks john. i can honestly say no, i haven't thought about doing a video. i guess mostly because there are already so many excellent videos out there by people who actually know what they're doing. for me do do one, would seem almost senseless. thanks for the thought though! if you have any specific questions i might be able to help with, please, feel free to ask. thanks henry! i had some time tonight to play with one of the wheels. i think it's turning out pretty good. i'll try to get the other done tomorrow. then i need to add the lettering decals and perform a small milling mark between the words.
