I don't know about that Rob but maybe a canopy for our fullsize truck...or I might have to start towing our cargo trailer...

After about a day and a half of bouncing back and forth between my Dads shop and my own, I've made a little progress on the big KW. I've finally got a good start on the rims(took forever) and managed to do a little welding on the frame and cab today too....

Here's some pics from todays progress....Thanks for looking!

As a guy that has made his own share of wheels, I like where these are going. What size round stock did you have to start with?

looking great Reg, wheels are really taking shape

Thanks guys.

The front rims started out as 2 3/4 round bar. I still have a little machining to do on the one wheel and all the mill work to do on the other. After they've spent their time in the mill I plan on smoothing out the corners with a dremel to make them look more realistic. The real rims/hubs are pretty crude so that takes the pressure off a little.

Finished the front wheels today...They are far from perfect but they are some what realistic looking...some what.
