HornsRus

HornsRus

i wouldn't want to make more than one that way,made me tired just watching.ha,ha. charley

HornsRus

most of the rectangular ones i have are on steel ribs not wood.charley

HornsRus

i learned this from an old rad man,he sandblasted everything before hand.it works well espley on cast iron.charley

HornsRus

tha fit on the wheel in the film looks to be about 1/8 th. as i rember the wheels that came from calf after we boared them we had to make 3/8 s ring to press on the hub charley

HornsRus

yes thats right,if you see someone that wants one i have roadster pu to sell in a pile. charley

HornsRus

gmc teens, i could have one of these but could not live with the rad neck so i bought the fwd,charley

HornsRus

early 28 mod a ford .charley

HornsRus

herb! that is a real truck. i dont know what it is but i want one ha,ha. charley

HornsRus

you can make all the spokes from one piece of wood but if the center hole is not tight the car is being carried buy the bolts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! charley

HornsRus

allan look again you can clearly see the spokes still square on the ends and the hub falls in.there was a wheel shop in calf that them that way we put them in a big lathe bored them out the made a spacer to fill the gap. charley

HornsRus

looks like a 16 roadster, frt fenders are 14 cant tell about rear fenders.i think the box is just sitting there.charley

HornsRus

oh! the hood could be seting on top of a hoodformer.i cant see the windshield hinges.charley

HornsRus

rich! the box is a wood one see the cross timber& brace at the back. charley

HornsRus

could be a converted 16 cant tell about rear fenders.charley

HornsRus

scott, you can put a round peg in a square hole but it wont stay tight very long!!!!!!!!!!!!! charley

HornsRus

you can clearly see the end of the spokes are square and the hub falls in, you should have to press it in,bolt holes look louse to me.charley

HornsRus

those wheels would not be on my car.they use the bolts to support the car seen at 2:14.you must bore the center of the wheel the same size as the hub.junk. charley

HornsRus

not org but it sure helps,charley

HornsRus

there is something there but not what i thought,thanks rich. charley

HornsRus

i have a pair that have a crescent on one end.charley

HornsRus

thanks, if it is straight grain if you cut a creve it will be very week,one other that has a woven grain is elm, but it is so stringey it is very hard to machine.charley

HornsRus

teak! never used any,what grain dose it have? you are right t wood has got to be cheep!!!!!!!!!!! charley

HornsRus

poplar agian is ok for straight pieces but has no grain so doesn't hold screws & nails very well .charley

HornsRus

a note on sycamore must be 1/4 sawed or it will warp when dried.charley

HornsRus

i worked with sycamore for 30 years no problems.but some people have allergies and anything can set them off.charley

HornsRus

oak& ash are fine for strait pieces but the grain just lays on top of its self so if you have to cut a creve it is about as week as pine.look for a wood that has a woven grain as sycamore has,holds nails & screws very well + it is a lot lighter.some of you have so much power whats an extey 100 lbs o...

HornsRus

sycamore is still the best,i have 300 bodies out there with it in them.charley
