Project 7 from d3javoodoo ^custom wheel design^

Here are a few pics of another project of mine that I've been working on ... For a while now I've had some ideas in relation to automobile design in every aspect. Recently though I have began to lay the groundwork for a (custom) rolling chassis to support multiple small scale concept vehicle designs.

these are images of a single wheel design currently in progress. I choose to use 1/4" x x1/2" crst stock to begin fabrication of the bulk of the spokes, & plastic pipe section for the center wheel well. Eventually when the original is complete I'll make a mold to reproduce in different mediums like plastic, aluminum, bronze, etc.

Here are a few updated photos of this 6 spoke design, which may or may not be used for the next model..

Well this afternoon after that hot sun went down, I got a little work done.

I'm a few steps closer to a rolling chassis...

@ this point I've chosen to use 1/8" instead of 1/4' to decrease weight.
