Building a Custom Automotive Wheel From Scratch

哦!对不起,我错过了这篇文章,这是7个月. The body build went pretty smoothly. I have played with fiberglass for many years so knew the basics pretty well. In fact my prior largest project was to build a 'glas mold and 'glas 1-piece front end for my '36 Willys coupe 'gasser' probably 25 years ago. I had a little trouble with wrinkling gel coat in a couple places, getting too anxious to lay up but not bad. All the parts of the molds and the car were done in one try so I consider that a success. The only flaw that showed up (AFTER the car was painted of course) was a void just under the gel coat on the front side of the body. For some reason I allowed a quarter sized air bubble to stay in place under the first layer of mat leaving a soft spot on the body. The whole body building process is discussed in detail in my book about the car.

我写了一本关于它的书。它在亚马逊上可用。

cool I might order it, not much of a book reader but this seems worth reading n.n

Wow. It's amazing!

非常感谢的巨大观察预览the book. I had planned on reading the "To Win" series by Caroll Smith, but I think your book just pushed "Tune" and "Prepare" down one slot.

我很谦虚。

不能说它更好!!在50多岁的时候，“热罗德斯特”比“帮派成员”或“恐怖分子”更加佩吉术语。定义的热棒是叛逆的，而不是遵循规则。

Not DOT approved clearly, but that’s not synonymous with unsafe. There isn’t necessarily any difference between say a Foose custom wheel and this wheel, aside from the DOT endorsement. If your materials and assembly and end result are as good as (or better than) a big manufacturer with the DOT label, how is yours less safe? It’s not. This is the creation of a master craftsman with exacting standards and skill- there is no caveat involved. (Did you see the car? Not exactly an amateur project) I’d trust his wheel over a Chinese tuner wheel with a DOT on it, any day.

把你的家人放在带上这样的车轮。我不会。

如果您可以将您的家人融入这辆车，那么您和您的后代是Lilliputians，可能不需要担心车轮安全。我认为只有在我们的“全尺寸”世界中存在足够的危险，因为它没有进入汽车。

It is a misnomer to call the Mysterion a car. It is fine sculpture in automotive motif.

This may be a concern but it is quite a stretch form the intent of the instructable showing construction of a decorative wheel for a strictly show car to making wheels for the Wagon Queen Family Truckster! This car will hopefully drive a short distance and be filmed doing so but it will be at idle speed and a very short distance. It will never conceivably be a street driven car for a myriad of reasons. That being said, I would have no qualms putting a similar wheel on a hot rod that is street driven. This of course assumes the builder has good welding skills but the finished wheel is rock solid, true and balance. I see no danger in it.

像白珍珠一样的石灰金糖果就像艾德一样沃森涂上原来。石灰金糖果是奇怪的东西;将其涂在银色底座上，它出来明亮的石灰绿色。然而，将其涂在白色底座上，柠檬黄出来。

I guess that the photograph though excellent does not do justice to the view in sunlight. You have done an amazing job. Thanks for the paint info.
