Got 'em Tucked in Real Nice!!!

The goal was to get most of the tires tread inside the wheel wells, just letting a little stick out past the fenders.

That was a little tricky after the interior was installed...but we did it!

Look, I cut a huge hole in the Tire so that the tire will clear the interior.

Actually, I cut slices in all 4 tires.

Whoo!

That looks like a lot of work but the finished build is well worth the effort.

Beautiful work and a one of a kind project.

Thanks for the kind words Larry!

Looks real nice, Ira. Did you have any trouble applying the flame decals? There are a lot of curves right there!

Thanks James!

The decals were a challenge.

As soon as I got them off the backing paper they rolled around themselves! I had to put them back in the water to untangle them, and when I re-applied them them Flame Ends would roll under themselves. A Q-Tip, water and patience finally worked and I got them in place. They decals held together very well considering!
