Dennis Lacy Posted January 17, 2021 Author Posted January 17, 2021 UPDATE! It was pointed out to me by my friend Ed (owner of Drag City Casting that made this body) that for my target year of 1963 that only a truly low-buck effort in the Altered class would still be using heavy steel wheels and that I might re-think my choice. Taking that into consideration I put a new set together. Front tires and rear Halibrand wheels from AMT "Drag Wheels and Tires" parts pack. Front 12-spoke wheels from AMT '32 Vicky. Slicks are a different variation from AMT's slicks parts pack. I have to adapt them to the mounting pins in the axles and will also need to narrow the front wheels to fit the skinny tires. For now here is a very basic mock up. 1
JohnnyK Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Great work so far! I have a suggestion for the wheels. I have started using Tamiya Panel Line paint on my model's wheels. It really highlights the molded details.
