Tyrone's Bandag Bandit, Super Boss and Papa Truck Questions?

[ARTEMIS1759]

I plan to rebuild these rigs later on this year and also cast some of the pieces. My question is, is there any discrepencies in these kits compared to the one to one's? Also fitment issues and such? They are going to be rebuilds so I think I will detail them out as much as possible since it is not like they are in the box originals.

The only real flaw with these kits, the transporters specifically is that the wheels are wrong. Tyrone had a sponsor called Truck Mate that made the wheels he used on his trucks. He did change the wheels on his transporters but the chrome plated Truck Mate five holes were used the most. These are the wheels that are featured on the box art of the transporter kits. I made these wheels to fit the transporter kits and they are now available in resin.

Thanks Ben I will get a hold of you when I start the rebuilds.

I tried to post pics to show you the wheels but I'm having trouble with my Photobucket for some reason. You can see them on my Fotki site though in the album titled "Model Truck Wheels".
