james460 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I see you used the stock chassis. how did you get the wheels tucked up under the fenders? Really nice by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice by the way. Interesting you ask that. I spent an entire evening bulging the fenders and qtrs out on this thing. Yet you can barely see it in pictures. I heated and rolled a knife handle behind them to do it. Then I used the frt of the PPP wheels and the kit wheel backs. I sanded the wheel backs thinner so they would sit further in the tires. Here’s the real car showing how the wtrs and fenders bulge out slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james460 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Thanks for the reply. I did the same thing to the rear fenders. Sanded them real thin and used heat and pressure to bulge out the rear. will try the same method on the front. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
