dpride Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) I knew you would remake the wheels. That tiny "mistake" would be on your mind for the rest of the build. Now it matches the rest of the car. Have to say, it's looking pretty good. Edited April 13, 2014 by dpride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp1839 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 chris, thanks buddy!!! that was the effect i was looking for. hehe. james thanks! bill thank you sir! so, those front wheels needed tires. i hate doing tires 'cause it takes soooo much time and it's just a flat out dirty job. when you're done though you can come up with a pair of o.k. tires. i also couldn't help sticking the pieces together to get a better idea of the complete look.

GoatGuy Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Dave - yes those tires are ok. You crack me up. They look great. And the mock up shots - what a phenomenal piece of workmanship. If you take this to NNL East as a WIP I'll kick myself for not going to stare and study it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
