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.

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.
