KJ790 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Well, I am calling this one close enough to done. It has been over a year in the making. The only kit parts I used were the frame, axles, and cab from a Revell 359 snap kit. Each of those were heavily modified as well. Everything else was scratch built including the rims and tires.

72 Charger Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Very nice top marks. How did you go about making the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ790 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Very nice top marks. How did you go about making the wheels?Thanks! For the rims and tires, I drew them in 3D cad and had them 3D printed. Then I made molds and cast each rim in resin and each tire in urethane rubber. The tread pattern is different for the different tires. I made steer tires, drive tires, and trailer tires. For the rims I made oval hole rims for the Pete, and round hole alcoas for the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping that this one will make it to Fulton this year. It will depend on how quickly the guy that it was built for wants it on his shelf.Those wheels/tyres look a lot better than kit parts .
