Luv2Wrench Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I recently bought some parts to help with my 1913 project. The parts came today and I'm thrilled with the originality and condition. The engine looks to be in great shape (relative to being 100+ years old). I'm fascinated by all the detail that I can finally see up close!! For all these years I've had a collection of spare parts and have only seen assembled cars via online pictures. To finally see just how some of the pieces fit together was a real treat. It will be another couple months before I get back on the Metz project but these parts will certainly make it easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCMetz Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Just noticing the rear wheels mounted to the axle. How did that get done? I have thought about trying that, but I couldn't imagine how to go about it. Might make for an interesting tow behind. Can you post a picture? Thanks, WC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, WC If you're talking about the modern style rims that someone welded to the old Metz hubs... I can post some pictures of that. If you want them just pay for shipping.

WCMetz Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Thank you for the offer, but I don't think I could use them. If you could post a picture that would be helpful. Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
