I was watching OVERHAULIN last night and Foose did a special wheel for the Tbird they were building and it gave me an idea. Has anyone ever worked with a machine shop or wheel builder (or know of one) that can actually design and cut the wheels for the average Joe? Hey... that's ME!! LOL Thanks for the info........ -------------  TV 2M8O OUT JOE 1976 Gran Torino S&H season 2-4 Clone Project Blog: http://tv2m8o.blogspot.com/ |

| That would depend on your "average joe" budget? I think you are in for a minimum of $3k+ for anything custom assuming no CNC program has to be written from scratch. |

Not to steal the thread, but has anybody had a set of aluminum slots top surface machined down for that new wheel finish and what was the cost? ------------- John 75Gran Torino 4spd  |

I did a set in a lathe 30+ years ago. We had an old axle shaft cut off about 8" long to fit in the chuck and bolted the wheel to that. ------------- "What we do in full frontal view, is more honest than your cleaned-up mind."
