Title: S#!t! - That's A Lot of Iron!
Post by: DummyLoad on August 19, 2022, 09:37:21 pm

Cloning a Sunn Model-T for a local artist, well, kinda sorta'. Yes, OT is overkill, waaaay mucho overkill, but GD it sure sounds NICE! Plan to sub KT120 as  test, IF the filament winding can stand the extra loading.

Links below to pics of BB test drive and chassis in progress.

I sure hope it comes with a set of minions to lug that beast around.  That just looks like a whole lot of "hell no" to me!  :laugh:
Impressive though!
