TIRE SLICING!

The USA-1 Racer needs Tires!
So I carefully Slice a section of tire with a single-edge razor blade. Then I Slice 4 more Good Sections.

Here is the Inside View.
I tried to cut them straight but cut all of the Tires on an angle. I had to go back and Slice a little more until I got 4 Tires even.

After a little more Slicing and Sanding here they are!

I glued the Tire Sections to the USA-1 Racer's Underbody with Zap-A-Gap Glue.

Well that about does it.
I have to do a little touch up here and there and finish a few details and the USA-1 Vette LSR Team is Finished. The next photos you see will be of the Finished USA-1 Transport and Racer!

Almost Finished... B)

I've been following this one and have to say that I really like the whole thing (from concept to execution). Great job, Ira!

Thanks for the kind words Dirk!

The Finished Photos are in the Under Glass Section Now... B)
