RFQ Closed I'd like to thank all the friendly, helpful CNCzone members who took the time to respond to my RFQ. I received several responses in a matter of days. I'd also like to thank Paul and CNCzone for providing a forum where everyday folks like me can find talented machinists to do smaller jobs that large shops simply won't entertain.
CNCzone is definitely a cause worth donating to!

I'm looking for a homeshop machinist or small machine shop to make five wheels for a scale model I am working on. The design is very similar to the 1960s Halibrand wheels used on Ford Cobras. The scale is 1:18 (like what you find on a typical Burago or ERTL diecast model car). In real terms that means dimensions approximately 1" diameter and 0.5" wide.
Aluminum cast and milled perhaps?? Take a look at the attached images. I'll need to know if you can work from the images provided (higher resolution images are available) and my dimensions, or if I need to provide actual dimensional drawings.
I'll need a price quote for five wheels, and a timeframe from the day I place the order. I already understand this isn't going to be inexpensive. As a small one-off project I expected as much. Don't hesitate to contact me even if you think your quote is steep. I'm looking for quality work, and accuracy, and I'm willing to pay for it.
I am located in southern New Hampshire and would like to find someone in the area, but will consider out of state as well.
Thanks,
Joe Martins
