Why didn't you respoke them? With your skills, a can of patience, and good music you must get it

There is nothing wrong with the wheels Burt, I've just shown two with the rear of the break drum showing (silver disc) and the other three the outside of the wheel, look closely on two of these and you will see the silver disc through the spokes. The fifth wheel is the spare that will be strapped to the side of the car.

Thanks for looking in guys. Made good progress this arvo and not much left to do now.

Some almost finished pics and I think its starting to look like a nice sleek motor.

Started on some of the leather strapping. On the left the kit provided piece of material that is meant to rep[resent leather. On the right a scrap from a length (1500 x 100mm) that I got got a couple of bucks at our local haberdasher, Spotlight. So if anyone is wanting a scrap of brown leather looking material, I'm your man.

Nice work with the leather, but with the spokes, I have done it several times and it's a improvement when you see the spokess actual cross them selfs. But hee, you the builder and doing an outstanding job.

It's looking great Vic and, like Terry, makes me want to try one of these auto kits too.

Thanks Andy, I kind of like that the detail and extra scratch detail is visible and not tucked up inside a tube, makes for a pleasing change.
