Unk, Jimmy aka Wheelkid called me this morning. He has the hoops I need in 4.5" I am hoping my M&Hs will be fine on these. He said the quality of these is much better than the 4s he has. Also learned that the 12 5/8" centers are not as common as the bigger ones you found. His 4"ers would need cut down 16" centers as the ID is 1`3+ inches. Doh! I was typing a reply to one you had on the HAMB!  |

T-Man,
Look back on the BB Bonneville Bugeye build thread and see how they did their wheels. Look at reply no. 61 for some pics. They used VW rims and had centers laser cut to fit, I am sure you could also do water jet but it looks like a good way to make wheels.

We have a number! Just got off the phone with Chuck, always enjoy his chat. The Spirit of South Dakota will be............................drumroll..............................1876! Thats when the goldrush hit its peak in the Black Hills and Deadwood. Very fitting for me since my great grandpaw also drove the Deadwood Stage during those times. I was going for the statehood date of 1889 but it is in use. I also got the shoulder hoop bent tonight. No pics, Carla took the camera on her trip back East. things are going well.  |

Started coping,mitering tubes tonight. Only a couple, had LilT out to Trick or treat so that cut into the evening. Worth it though with a 4 year old!. Cutting them on my bandsaw and dressing with a wheel. Done a couple this way in the past, having an easy time of it. I will post pictures when there are a few tubes tacked in.

Trent, on the really weird cuts I did them first in PVC tubing. It's much easier and quicker to cut. "Oh. That's what it's supposed to look like". Wayno |

I can usually visualize copes pretty well, years of finish carpentry have got my eyes trained! The one thing I am really working hard at is the sensible, proper placement of the uprights and diagonals. Printed off some pictures of completed cars that I know have gone through tech and spent the rest of the night with tape measure and masking tape working on real world layout. |
