I've been collecting metal, parts, tools etc. over the past 6 months
or so and finally started building the beast. I just finished building two parts for the track. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...t/3ef995cc.jpg section 1 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...t/501a0e83.jpg section 2 The sections measure 56 inches wide and 8'6 long made with 4" x 6" x 1/4" thick steel angle. The stringers in most instances are the same material. That's as far as I've gone so far, I still have to level these up, butt them together and fasten them together with weld and bolts. I'm cutting mobile home axles down currently for the project. The engine I plan to use is an old 1952 4 cyl Wisconsin hay bailer engine that I bought for 50 bucks. The only material I need now are a couple 4.5 inch square column material and some stainless steel cable for a band head leveling mechanism. I know I don't have much to show you guys currently, but at least I finally started building. Sam Irvington KY |
