Hey guys,
I have a friend who is looking to obtain an old-fashioned, handcar.
Although, given their rarity, I'm going to assume that may be easier said than done, yes?
Does anyone know if there is a company out there that makes reproduction handcars? Or, is there anyone who makes the wheels for handcars? They're the same type that were used on the motorized speeders, aren't they, or are they different? He says he can have a handcar fabricated by another friend of his (although, if he can get a ready-made reproduction, I'd prefer to save him the expense of having a one-off made), but he needs the wheels for it.
Any suggestions and/or information would be appreciated. Thanks, guys!
