Help with a 1/16 Lindberg Model T Rod

[mole53]

I need help with this model. I'm looking for aftermarket tires (typ. street rod) to replace the two peice rubber things in the box and rims to match. I normally build 1/24-1/25 cars, I need help with general detail stuff like ignition wires, rad. hoses, etc. what sizes should I use? Any help (good, bad or indifferent) will be appreciated.

Carl... You might out a wanted post to try and find tires/wheels from some of the other 1/16th scale kits that were out...some had aftermarket style wheels and tires with them.  Hoses and wires you might take a look at old electronics--radio,etc. for the wires from them to use for the hoses,wires,etc...I have done that before.

When I built mine I bought some nice resin slicks off of ebay.

Here is a pic of the one I built with the slicks I bought from ebay.

Thanks guys, ya'll gave my brain a jump start. Ray, a quick question or three. What did you use for your fan belt, what size wire did you use for the ignition wires and did you shorten the radiator?

As I recall the only thing that did not come from the box is the rear tires.
