Reply:Sorry Zap, its real or rather it is. Back wheel fabbed out of flatbar welded to the hub. Now I would imagine that the top speed on this rig aint great so dynamic loading is relatively low... the close up of the rear wheel I did pchop; cropped and raised levels so detail can be seen. Thats it.PS I am seriously flattered anybody thinks I could chop a pic this good....Last edited by sunline; 05-11-2008 at 07:36 PM.Airco 300 squarewaveMig welding center...Powcon sm300/LN 25Powcon sm200/PD lHypertherm PM 1100Miller AEAD 200LE W/LN25 FCand now another sm200 pd l combo.
Reply:Its all real, to many pictures at too many angles to have photoshoped all of them with that good of quality. I see the pic of the tire that looks like it has some odd edging around it but sometimes that happens when there is a big contrast change like there is with the black tire and gray gravel but it is normal. And if it is the wheel itself, well those are easy to make with just scrap steel you find laying around. Don't expect to be able to get it balanced though.Last edited by 737mechanic; 05-12-2008 at 09:20 AM.
