Bobs RR silver Ghost Chassis progress

Post by Bob Mitchell »

I have been slowly building the RR Silver Ghost chassis for 7 months now during the Covid lockdowns here in Alberta Canada. I decided to add floor bords and mudguards which meant several mods but I am quite pleased so far. I also decided to use solid rather than spoked wheels for now. I might try spoked wheels at the end of the build. I haven’t yet put on the lens for the lamps or finished the wiring. I now just have to build the engine!! I attach a few photo’s

I have at last got round to making the spoked wheels for the Rolls Royce Chassis. Previously I used the solid rims . They were fairly straight forward to make but if I did it for too long I got eye strain looking through the magnifying glasses so that I could put the ferrules on the spokes!
I am pleased with end result and think it improves the look of the chassis. Next Armortek project is the universal carrier but first I have a steam wagon to build!,,
