This is another late 90s build . During this time I learned how to make accurate 3 by 18 Americans .

Thanks for looking in Jeff .

Hi Jeff, welcome to the Drag Racing Forum.

You've posted some nice looking Altereds.

It appears to me you're new here, we like reading about details too.

Some guys have asked, but I don't see anything yet from your side, maybe I've overlooked a read or two.  Won't be the 1st time.

So Jeff, you got your eyes on?

What's with the "During this time I learned how to make accurate 3 by 18 Americans"?

You haven't forgotten already, have you?

Thanks everyone for your intrest . I'm sorry I;m not long on words . In 1999 I could not find 18 " Americans . So I made a master and cast a few up . A little later I started using a .010 think aluminum ring on each side  . the tires I use are from the Monogram 1/24 T bucket dragster , the one with a lay dpwn driver .

Hope this helps  Jeff .

OK.

This is a start, many thanks.

You "cast a few up".  Styrene?  The outer rim is from aluminum I gather.  Correct?

What are the spokes made of?  How did you choose to fasten these to the rims?

Hi Jeff, I didn't realize your were on this site, an oversight on my part since you have been here since 2015 apparently.  The car looks great and the front wheels are spot on.  I'll have to track dowm the rest of your posts.
