Re: Project: Recycle

Scoti, did you build the rear wheels like we talked about or did you have them done by a pro ?

Had them done by a 'pro' (that's a whole other thread).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Spill it if you can. I have some steelies for my truck that I need widened to 8 inches. If you can steer me away from a bad deal I'd appreciate it.

Looks like you are doing something similar to what I have in mind. I have a set of 5 of the 6" steelies. I am looking for a "pro" to wided a pair to 10". I will be doing painted caps once I find a good set.

I am also interested in getting steered in the right direction. I know that I can get OEM style wheels from Wheel Vintiques in the 5 on 5 pattern in 10" width, but they are over $100 each BEFORE powder coating and I cannot get the back space that I want.

Keep up the good work...
