wallfish 20,155 #1 Posted May 3 (edited) Well technically anyway. Just thought it was pretty cool and intersting. Bought this at the Zagray show Sat. from young man who bought stuff from me about 12-13 years ago. He was a pretty young man back then. Anyway, he started this replica RJ project. He told me those front rims are completely turned down on a lathe. Took him a long time. They may look like pulleys but under closer inspection they're not. He did the proportions by scale but forget what ratio he said it was. Not sure if it will stay like it is or if I'll do more to build it. I did sand the steering wheel smooth already as it was still a little rough and turned it black instead of the pink body filler. Also removed some rust from the shaft so it could slide down into position . Edited May 3 by wallfish 7 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 20,155 #3 Posted May 3 (edited) Forgot to attach the one to give it some scale for size. It's close enough that one of the little Ohlsson & Rice engines could fit Edited May 3 by wallfish 8 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Large Bear attempting operation of such an incredibly huge piece of machinery may very well result in a small pile of crushed metal. I would set astride it for a photo opportunity. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
