The back of the wheel is drilled for a normal Chevy bolt pattern. Then, this pin drive adapter is bolted to the wheel using special lugs. Those lugs fit inside the holes drilled in the back of the wheel and keep it from spinning. The center nut tightens the wheel against the brake to keep everything in place.

I love the knock off design wheels, which makes me wounder why we don't see more of it.

Is it a safety issue, cost or practicality, etc???

Availibility. As can see, this was a total custom deal.

That wheel design was a big deal in the 70's. Lil John and Boyd started that back in the with the AMBR 33 ford roadster of Jamie Musselman .Allan Budnik of Budnik Wheels(one of :lateral: vendor) used this design while he was working for Hot Rods by Boyd.He can build them for you.:unibrow: :unibrow:

No more hijack. Budnik, I asked, they said no.

Allan wouldn't build them for you? ask Mike Curtis I think he was around Boyd right after Alan left.We still have the wheel in the shop.I'm going to look for a shot of them and I'll PM you.

One of the best builds I've ever seen! I joined this forum just to watch this build but I'm sure I'll find much more here that interests me.

Ken, you've got a PM.

Here is a video that I took at Columbus on Friday. I'm having trouble with the file format - getting it to upload to Vimeo in HD. This is a lower quality version. I'll post the HD version once I get the issues worked out.

I have several videos of other cars that I will try to post elsewhere once I have the time to render them.

Congrats to everyone from RS. This car is amazing!
