1/16 th scale Micro Nitro Wire Lacing tool
jeff f replied to Adhsdad's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Earlier this year I built some 1/8 scale 18" wires . Hub and rim made from aluminum , wires are .015 music wire. Decided on 36 spoke wheel and built a jig. I bent .050 length of the wire 90 degrees to hook the hub. A real challenge for sure.

Tim when I look at the detail of your work in this scale my head just spins ! Your commitment is beyond me in light years . You should be very proud of your work ! Jeff .

I did some 1/8 scale work for a close friend and ended up with a TDR 392 . Decided to try an old 60S front wheel and tire . It's 18" with .015 music wire , which is a hair small . Will change to .020 . Thanks for looking in Jeff .

I would look at web pics closely . Before AWB cars there were 2% cars . You can see the wheel tire moved forward 2.25 - 2.50 inches . That's my take on this . Jeff.

1/8 scale 32 rolling stock 2 - 2 update alodine dipped
jeff f replied to jeff f's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Just was curious and dipped a wheel in alodine solution . I then polished the outer part and added a center cover ala Real Wheels . And I did get some valve stems made . Think only one set will get this look . Thanks for looking Jeff .

Remember to have fun and enjoy your bench time . I would use the Scale Auto build as your template . Jeff.

Thank you Leroy , they are the gasser kit ones with aluminum dust caps . Jeff.

Very nice replica .

Yes Mike I do all of my 12 spokes in that fashion . I first make round blanks with a 4 or 5 degree angle and spoke thickness . Then I've programmed the Bridgeport to cut the six windows . I have got the three scales "1/25 , 1/16 and 1/8" figured out now . Thanks again for looking in Jeff .
