Re: [HorselessCarriageReplicas] other plans???????

Hello Jim,
Did not mean to cut in on you & Bobs conversation, but if you go to www.horselesscarriagereplicas.com , on the Home page it explains about the different levels (tiers) of building.

Hello Jim. Depending on your mechanical and creative skills, for a first time builder, I would certainly recommend Jimmy Wood's plans. You may have to do a little creative work to build something that appeals to you. You can build a Jimmy Wood's design vehicle as simple or as complex as you wish. Some first time builders stick strictly to the plans, while many others deviate, especially on the body. Just be sure to stick with the basic parameters to be safe. If you go through the sixty some issues of "Engine & Wheels", you will see many examples of how builders have put their individual ideas into practical use. I built several vehicles, all based on the design. Look at them in issues #37, 43, and 54, and you will see how different each one is, but the basic frame design is the same on all. There are only so many plans available because it is a lot of work for the builder to document and make plans available. There is little, if any profit involved, just the satisfaction of helping other builders. If you do decide to build a machine using your body design, be sure to document it well with photos, measurements, and sketches, so you can be one of the few people offering plans.
The Jimmy Wood's design, if the builder sticks completely to the plans, can be considered to be a "tier one" project in terms of skill and machinery required to build. There are other similar plans. As I stated earlier, depending on your own mechanical and creative skills, and available machinery, I would recommend a "tier one" set of plans. If you have the confidence, by all means tackle the "tier two or three" plans.Best of luck. Bob K.
