Very unique, good looking car, can't wait to see it on the road.
You have some great fab skills.

[WSSix]

Very nice, Mike!

Crazy skills! Let's see an overall view, Mike. I want to see what you did with the front face. Does it press on, or is it keyed, or what?

The face and detail work is tomorrow or Sundays project. I wanted to get the v-grooves done before I spent too much time making it pretty.

It will be keyed (1" shaft w/ 1/8" key), but I don't have a 1/8" broach right now. I'm going to see if one of the local shops I use for work has one, if not I'll buy one.

In the final episode of our three part mini series - "As the Pulley Turns"

I did a little detail work on the sides while it was still in the lathe.


Then setup the rotary table in the mill.


And setup the pulley on the rotary table.


Then just cut away everything that isn't a pulley.





Do a little deburring and hit it with some scotchbrite this is what's left.


On the motor. I have to put an idler pulley up around that left button head bolt, that's for tomorrow.

Mike, it's a work of art, for sure! I'm not sure I've ever seen a keyed crank pulley made from aluminum, though. All I've ever bought or used were steel, but I'm probably wrong. Either way, great job!
