On an old forum that many of us were part of, {a "short track" forum}, the "owner" posted a building tip about using pill bottles with sandpaper wrapped around them to "finish" the wheelwells after the rough cut of opening them up. Just use it like a sanding drum by twisting it back and forth until you have your wheelwell perfectly contoured. As BOB related to DJ

Best way to pack built models
TECHMAN replied to WillyBilly's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
In 2021, we moved from East Texas here to Central Kentucky, 750 miles one way. Prior to the move, I questioned many different friends "what" they would suggest..... JAMES2 suggested that I turn the plastic cases that I put my builds in, upside down, use the base as the lid, and use bubble wrap on the models to protect them. Basically 150+ models packed into ten large Wallyworld cardboard boxes, tossed on my 18ft trailer (tarped) and away we go. Not one was damaged!!!!! Would expect that with the right size "individual" cardboard boxes, and using the same bubblewrap method, you can have the same results. THANKS GO TO JAMES DJ -
Great job on turning a simple kit into something to be proud of. On one of the forums I used to be an active member of, this very topic of the "steamroller" tires came up, and we had a couple different members post pictures from their local tracks with these tires being run. When I was writing the rules for some of our local dirt tracks, the STOCKS were limited to 275/60/15s, SUPER STOCKS to the HOOSIER S55/S34 & D55/D34S (as were the HOT STOCKS & LIMITED LATE-MODELS. And those Hoosiers looked BIG on those cars, but NOT anywhere as big as those Steamrollers DJ

32 Vicky dirt track

KEN, Sure that you know, FRED made a bit of an "error" on the headers on this, flatheads only had 3 ports on each side (center port emptied both center cylinders), thus, only three pipes per side, a fact Fred learned after the box art was already done. FANTASTIC work so far DJ -
Very impressive!!!! DJ
