I like the bearings in there. Good job thinking out of the box. Gives it that total one off look.

Thats a nice clean looking chassis. I tried my hand at brazing and it looked like some one sneezed on my joint. I guess practice makes perfect. |

here's some more pictures on my adjustable weights....after cutting the shell's just a bit longer then the hole is deep, then drilling the primers spark hole bigger to fit a jig to spin it in my drill.... this way i can use my drill sort of as a lathe to file and fit the shell to the wheel holes.... then i'll have a real looking dirty harry revolver cylinder .... a buddy of mine has some primers i can have to install in the primer pockets to finish out the look i'm going for ................bob .... |
