ROCKET VAN GETS SOME NEW WHEELS!!!
I am using 4 Fat Front Deals Wheels Tires on the Rocket Van. I am trying to fit them inside the body sides without sticking out. Not much room for these Wide Little Tires...
I started by trimming off the excess on the wheels. I saved about 3/8th inch width here! Now they will fit in much closer to the chassis.
Next I glued the Tires together with Zap-A-Gap Green Label Glue.
Then I sanded down the Ridge on the sidewalls of the Tires. I saved about an 1/8th inch width here!
Now they should fit inside the the body just right...
GREAT PROGRESS!!!
120 Sandpaper should only be used for the Tuffest Sanding. I use 220 sandpaper a lot for sanding putty and 320 for finishing. I also use a Laquer Primer/Filler from Dupli-Color, it fills in many imperfections.
