Getting the basic direction roughed in.


There is a lot more detail to come in the rim, where the spokes land. I have a few ideas, and haven't decided which route I'm going yet. That is where I think the Black & White Ebony inlays will be...

The aluminum rim section, and spokes would be CAD/CNC, the hub would be lathe-turned, and everything would be TIG'd together. A Wilwood quick disconnect hub would be machined, for aesthetics, and welded to the base of the hub.

The main point here is to develop the overall dimensions, and process I intend to follow, so I can have the steering column set to accommodate this wheel. I hope to be able to simply pop it on in place of the Grant, when it's ready.
