Ira Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 WOW!!! The Showdown Deadline to finish this build is Tuesday the 31st! I better get busy I still have some big details to finish up, like the tires & wheels for one thing!!!
Ira Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) 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. It worked Great!!! Now for the wheels... Edited January 29, 2012 by Ira
Belair2k Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 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.
turn1wonder Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Good news, bad news for us. Looking great but the build will end soon. Bob
James2 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Looks real nice, Ira. Did you have any trouble applying the flame decals? There are a lot of curves right there!

Ira Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 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!
