mole53 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 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.

disabled modeler Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 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.

cobraman Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 When I built mine I bought some nice resin slicks off of ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mole53 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 As I recall the only thing that did not come from the box is the rear tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
