 So I just want to thank folks for all of there good advice. Much appreciated, but I'm going to disregard a bit of it now -I will probably just use the band brake with a new band, mostly because I don't think this thing is going very fast, but also I would like to keep the "build" period correct.

I am trying to work out my direction for the build. I think I should get the needed parts: axle, wheels, tires, brakes, clutch and put it all together. I would also like to get the engine running, and see if we can make this thing go before I tear it all down and paint it -I figure that way I know what needs to be changed/fixed.

I measured 33 inches from the outside of the front wheels, so I figure a 34inch rear axle sounds about right, or is there some rule of thumb that I need to follow? Is the rear width typically wider than the front?

I need new wheels and tires, and I was thinking of getting these 5inch tri-spokes, but are they period correct?
