tiking Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 That's amazing!,If you could share some tips on how you did the tire that would be great. Thanks guys. Austin, . I search through my Misc. box and came across some very thin cable strands I had saved to use for plumbing. The rubber tire was cut using my dremel. Then I placed the strand of cable strands into that area. It is really a 123 history. It took me 3 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
