Here in front the rounded adjustment in the chassis frame for the barrel cab.  I looked for a very long time in my collection for the suitable front axle, until I found these here. It comes from the “Green Hornet” kit. ( www.showrods.com/showrod_pages/green_hornet.html ) I cut the leaf spring off. Then I filed a centering admission for the frame.  Similarly with the framework; The groove is for centring and had to be adapted to the roundness of the axle.  Fits perfectly, here the axle still turned around; the tie bar of the steering element will look Forward...  |

I searched for ornaments and found in my spare part crate somewhat suitable. That comes from the “Popcorn Wagon” kit ( www.showrods.com/showrod_pages/popcorn_wagon.html ). I did not use it, because the coating was bad  (oxidizes somehow?  ). Well that I kept. Now I can use that finally (few would intervene and changes, are already necessary  )  After a few modifications:  On the exterior of the rear wall I engraved a wood sample:  The whole looks now in such a way:  |

I know you've got a ton of work inn this so far, but it is so evident that your idea's are "just falling together" as you roll along! You have to love it when a plan just works!! I REALLY like what you've done so far! This is going to be a killer build from what I can tell! The great thing about building showrods is, the thing doesn't have to work!! LOL! Leave it to the nut and bolt counters to worry about that! |

Very COOL, keep it up, as for the Oxidation, I remember having the same problem with mine also, could be something from the gold tint they were using at the time during the plating process,
I had all of the parts redone by Chrome tech in chrome,
take care

Hello everyone! I am back from holidays ;D . I had sufficient time to collect a few new ideas. It continues to go with my “Winewagonprogress”. I thought for a long time, over the wheels. Which rims and which tires should I use for this project? Hmm... Something special would have to be it... First, I did not find anything suitable. Something like the RC- Wheels or such a thing exaggerated. Unfortunately I do not have some . decided to manufacture my own! . I dug in my spare part crates and found these rims. They come from two differently large Diecast cars, which have fortunately the same rim Design ;D. (I buy these to cannibalize it for spare parts ). Left in the picture, the original version and right, the overturned new.  I overturned it, in order to receive a cylindrical surface. The idea is to put it into new turned aluminum pipes.  At the back of the new aluminum rims I turned a larger recess, in order to press the rims in. I receive after polish a stepless transition in the rim wall. (I hope ) And a very deep rim! ;D  Thanks for the interest. |

Bobby, I've been away from the board for quite a while. What a time to check in and see your fabulous work on the Wine Wagon. I agree that it's one of Newt's best concepts. I'm waiting to see how it comes out.
