TIRE SLICING!

The USA-1 Racer needs Tires!
So I carefully Slice a section of tire with a single-edge razor blade. Then I Slice 4 more Good Sections.

Here is the Inside View.
I tried to cut them straight but cut all of the Tires on an angle. I had to go back and Slice a little more until I got 4 Tires even.

After a little more Slicing and Sanding here they are!

I glued the Tire Sections to the USA-1 Racer's Underbody with Zap-A-Gap Glue.

Well that about does it.
I have to do a little touch up here and there and finish a few details and the USA-1 Vette LSR Team is Finished. The next photos you see will be of the Finished USA-1 Transport and Racer!

You are the Yoda Master of modellers. I can't even imagine in my mind what you're able to create in finished form. I have great respect for your work.

Thanks for the kind words Dirk!

if you and bill with the aluminum hemi cuda teamed up there would be no doubt about it that the best model ever would be created.

I think the Aluminum Hemi Cuda is already one of the nicest models I have ever seen... B)
