I find your idea great ;D ;D ;D. I am a big fan of “hubless wheels”. Although, they have still a hub  , which is simply larger and hollow  ;D. I was occupied for a while with it and made a few small projects (wheels & cars). My problem was first the rim. Two rings, the outside for the tire with brake disk, the inside for the suspension, the brake pliers and steering element suspension. The whole must still ball bearings, somehow . Wheel drive? Over the outside ring with gear rim and chain? ;D At a sports car?  With today's down cross section tires? Hmm. Headache! . O.K. , in the model construction one can pave that somehow ;D. It does not have to function, it must look only good & KOOOL ;D ;D ;D. Interests me, how you want to make that with the wheel suspension and the wheel drive? Chain? Or a friction wheel driven by the engine directly pressing on the tire, hides in the framework?  Why do you make the front wheel not also hubless? It would be nevertheless more simply and optically more beautiful. Is only my opinion... ;D Please show us the further building procedure. |

I wanted to do a springer style front end on it so it would of been hard to do a hubless springer and pull it off right. I based a lot of this build so far to that of Choppers INC. (Billy Lane). I am going to cross drill the front down tube as well.

Had to rework the rear swingarm today. I found out that my bracing was going to interfere with the drive. I also drilled the downtube on the frame today...
