Thanks for looking.... -RRR Thanks, again RRR! I'm honored that the '29 Track Nose Roadster K&R Slice-n-Dice Special was the inspiration for your "A" Liner! It shines in comparison to my WIP! I'm humbled by your prolific ability to masterfully take a conceptual thought and days later produce an amazing rendition of what you designed over the phone with me less than a month ago! KUDOS!! -KK Edited June 8, 2022 by Kit Karson Text correction...

I believe the wheels I sourced on Ebay, they are from the same mold as the Monogram Black Widow pickup that was recently re-issued. The wheels in the Black Widow are chromed, these were not and molded in silver. Front tires are from a dragster, with the center rib cut out. The rear tires are from the AMT Vintage Police Car '27 T Touring (I believe...???). -RRR
