That lace pattern is cool.
This made me laugh out loud.Wow! My thread already dropped to page 2!
Actually it is pretty cool that less than a week in, we have a page two at all!
So, you guys want an update?
Split the front 16" rim in half today and curled up a piece of 16 gauge for the filler panel, all ready for welding up:

It will come close to my hoped for 3" width, about 73mm:

Also, the rear tire is mounted to that 13x11.5 rim...
Does anyone have any idea what you are about to see?

Love this set up, looks very cool and has a slight crown to the tire, so should turn and lean half decently too, very happy!

Luke.
When I saw that rule #1 said, "1: Rear tire larger than the front." I knew there was no way Luke was going to use some dainty bicycle tire!This made me laugh out loud.Just what we've come to expect from you Luke.

Really want to see this build BarnBikes, that would be awesome!
I guess the "Who's your Daddy" line is kinda creepy, maybe they don't want that association... ? I thought about it for the name of this build, but steered away for that reason...So far, so crazy awesome! Just get a white marker and add DADDY after the Hoosier on that rear tire!! I actually told a Hoosier rep. some years ago, that they should build a Hoosier Daddy and Hoosier Big Daddy tire for ProStreet cars......evidently my suggestion went nowhere.![]()
It would be awesome to see one on a cool vintage muscle wheel like that, would you go single sided rear to show it off? It is heaps more work and to be honest, I have yet to see or build a single sided set up yet that looks aesthetically pleasing... "Outlaw" looks pretty good so far though...I have a similar drag tire on a vintage craigar ss out in the garage waiting on a future build. Love it!
I have a few ideas, we should have a chat sometime if you like...Luke,
I was thinking with the wheel and tire I have to do a single side,hopefully figure out how to install disk brakes.
Showing off that old craigar mag would be cool,be even cooler if I can stop it to show off.![]()
I know , Luke is forcing me to do another big tire bike this year , I might have to put the VW idea on hold and do another fat tire , I have to hurry up time is ticking and I am falling behindKempracing is shaking right now. That tire is bad ...!
Awesome!Sounds good,I also have an idea for a reverse drive for another project I thought you might like.
Whatever you build will be awesome Kemp, your stuff always is!I know , Luke is forcing me to do another big tire bike this year , I might have to put the VW idea on hold and do another fat tire , I have to hurry up time is ticking and I am falling behind
