Custom V100 Wheels and Parts (pics)

I posted this in the tanks and APC category by mistake

Anyway, this is my latest creation...Custom wheels for my upcoming V100 armored vehicle project. Stainless steel, machining and lots of polishing

Very Nice.

Your gonna rattle can them OD right? ​

Bling bling bang bang. That's what you get when you chrome plate an armored car.

Here's the stainless steel fuel door assemblies which should give a more modern look to this V100 project. The plate will weld to the hull and the fuel inlet assembly will bolt to the plate.

As my 5 year old would say; Way, Way Cool.

Cad-Gage did something similar, I'm sure you know, to fix the problem of water getting in around the filler. You might consider adding a ring on the plate to give the cap a step to go around to keep water that gets under the cap from getting to the filler.

Good point! Also pretty easy to do since I've not attached them to the hull yet, thanks.

Thanks Moose and B3...this is the kind of stuff that my kids help out with, so they get to learn how to do things plus they get to keep most of the things they work on. One of the reasons I like stainless, years from now it pretty much looks like the day it was made

Thanks for the input TacticalTruck, I added a 1/2" tall band that should make any rain or hose directed water go around the filler area and drain at the bottom third of the cap. rather than having the possibility of being able to wick its way in near the gasket

Did you make the fuel inlet cover out of the bottom of a high-pressure tank? It looks contoured like one of them....

Xzibit called - he's ready to pimp-out the interior...

I used schedule 40 butt weld caps, and machined 1-1/2" off the overall height
