Matt McNally Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Here's Buddy Baker's RC Cola Torino that I managed to finish last night. Built with Powerslide decals on a Model King Torino with PPP wheels and tires. Matt McNally
LVZ2881 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 awesome build Matt. i actually need to order those decals for my kit. what did you do to correct the rear wheel offest problem, lengthen the rear diff?? or did the wheels fix it??
Jay Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 That looks great Matt! You have a knack for building those older cars! I wish I knew more about them....
Matt McNally Posted January 15, 2008 Author Posted January 15, 2008 Thanks everyone. To get the wheels pushed out toward the fenders I ended up removing the raised center section of the inner rim. I cut a chunk of plastic tube that was large enough to slide over the end of the axle housing and attached that to the inner rim. Once that was set I trimmed it until the wheel fit inside of the fender where I wanted it. The only other thing to mention is that I attached the new mount off center on the inner rim so I could drop the rear of the car. Matt McNally
