I was playing around yesterday deciding what chassis I would use with the Willys - and decided I wanted to try to make functional wheelie bars. Why I'm not sure. This was the second try, reasonably satisfied with the result. I think the third version will have smaller tubing if I can find it with 2 wheels captive in the middle. Then I'll chrome the tubing. These look like either antenna or training wheels, but they spin free.

That looks good to me. Simple but, that is a cool way to mount them! Good job, Bob

Nice bars Jeff. That green Willy's just keeps gettin' better!

The shoes are unmarred? Looks like you havent even put it on the track yet! :freak:

Nice and simple...
Is the assembly soldered together?

Scott, I tacked on with superglue first, don't know if the soldering iron just cooked it or if the solder actually helps (luv those fumes though, ugh). Pins in rear only required glue, though if I can pick up some any smaller (hypodermic needles?) it might almost be an interference fit. Out of town (for fun this time!) for a couple of days, won't have a chance to touch it before Thursday.
