There was a post a while back to a website for teardrops and the guy made these to sell. Sorry, I can't remember the site. Maybe someone else does. I think he was selling them for around $50.00

50 bucks!? Wow, that's cheap. If you can find the url, pass it on. Bet a lot of people on this site would be interested.
Chris :D

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

Yeah, $50 is cheap. I was think more along the lines of $150-$250.

so I guess this is a good time to ask... does anyone know where I can get some 1:6 scale wheels that I can use on a teardrop model?

Mike, I have purchased parts/plans from Toys and Joys, check them out.

Thanks Earl...

Good looking wooden wheels. I wonder if I could cut those on my cnc machine?

Mike...
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

My father in law used to buy from them all the time, he really enjoys making wooden cars and trucks, he now makes his own. I can get the details if you want. But if I remember right, he uses a hole cutter to cut a blank, then he shapes/turns on a homemade wheel lathe. Think it is an old motor from a table saw.

No kidding! I'd think every bit of that!
