blackbeard Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 those decal's really do make the rim's pop great job on the rims and tires
Magic Photos Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Dave I see the date on the pictures April Fools these are 1:1 wheels stop play with us. LOL Graet work they are beautiful.
futurattraction Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Those look perfect, Dave. Your decal-making friend deserves some props for the job he/she did...
Mooneyzs Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Dave...your wheels are off the charts and top notch my friend. I swear I was looking at a 1:1 set. Awesome work.bring on the next update....lol
baddgass Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Great things going on this build. But can we expect but some of the best work from you Dave. Thanks Brother.
lanesteele240 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 There are builders like me and 87 levels higher, there Are builders like you This is a awesome project
Reeves Racing Posted April 3, 2014 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?
comp1839 Posted April 3, 2014 Author 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 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.
Unatural Posted April 4, 2014 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. I'm absolutely blown away and can't wait to see the rest of it.

comp1839 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) thanks, wayne! thank you richard! well, i couldn't take the front wheels any more. those decals looks soooo good that now i have to step up and make the wheels with out the boo - boo's. here are the wheel blanks. sending them out for black anodize on monday. Edited April 6, 2014 by comp1839
ScrappyJ Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I can't wait to see these wheels progress Sherm. Killer stuff, man!
comp1839 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) thanks henry! thank you dirk!!! the blanks came back from the anodizer yesterday. Edited April 16, 2014 by comp1839
John Pol Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Dave what can say true craftsmanship in your work. Ever thought of doing a vedio on how you solder your brass work with and what tools you use t do some of your amazing work with brass keep up the good work
blackbeard Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 those wheel blanks look great in black anodizer
comp1839 Posted April 13, 2014 Author 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.
blackbeard Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 wow wow dave that looks killer I am amazed at how that rim looks great
