Don't have an extra spare donut tire laying around? Don't wanna buy another from the junkyard, then here is the way to always have any rim to match your car.
May want to break the beads on the tires before torching or welding. The heat and compressed air dont mix they can make a big BOOM and severely hurt someone
You make a good point, i have seen videos on this with fullsize tires, but I'm not sure how much welding would be needed to get enough heat long enough. I will test this sometime with a psi gauge on a donut tire while welding sometime.
Back in the 90's on my dad's first derby car, He took 16" truck and tractor rims I believe, and cut those wheel centers out, and put the 5 lug chrysler wheel centers in. I believe that was back in 95, or 96? Now you can go and get aftermarket wheel centers with multiple bolt patterns which i like. Found out old Chrysler and new chrysler bolt patterns are the same. Lol He did this on a fullsize 1977 Chrysler Town and Country station wagon by the way.
Depends on where the lines all run and what material they are made from. The easiest way is to cut them near under the drivers floor and smash them flat with a hammer, fold it over ontop of itself and smash flat again...this will pinch off the metal line. But i have sometimes come across copper brake lines and these tend to leak easier or crack when smashed. So I had to unscrew the fitting at the brake master and screw in a plug fitting with the same threads.
I bought multi lug centers, mad 4 wheels that can switch from car to car to car

highly unlikely.

I recently found out Chevy lumina and Ford crown vic match bolt patterns too.
@@DemolitionMissions that I did not know. Can be helpful for stock wheels.
i get donuts at the u pull it for like 7 bucks
I only run rear breaks so not to lock up the drive wheels
You can buy weld in center
What about forklift tires
The bolt patter is the same on that car or should b the same as cavs and neons and stuff like that
How does a four-door Chevy Malibu 2003 do it does have metal suspension
Digby videos Brandon the big problem with those is the aluminum subframe.
What's your take on just using the dounut rim no tire
Have you used this method with any nissan 14s for wbodys
Not yet, only on rear donuts. But it would work just the same
Can you use a plasma cutter?
Could drill the centers to
I got my first derby car 1992 Lincoln Town car uploaded a video of me starting it and going to be recording the build process
Good to hear, make sure you stay on it and keep updated build videos. Did it come with the aluminum bumpers or the good steel ones?
@@DemolitionMissions came with a good bumper thinking about not running a bumper on the back tho
@@soullessarmy9693 I'd run a back bumper on it. Crown Vics, Town Cars, Grand Marquis hold up better with a back bumper.
does it make the rim weak versus using a non welded rim
Not any weaker, unless you are bad at welding, then it might break.
How do u plug your back brake lines?

Don’t weld rims with a tire on it! They can explode
