Lil Red Rodster - Re-Tyred

Nice job and I love the plates you have on it.

Group build is a good idea but who gets to keep it when its finished?

Yeah - that's probably the major flaw in the plan...

Thanks guys.

Bryce - put it up on Evil-Bay with the proceeds going to charity?

I can recommend the "What - me worry?" charity in Mornington if that helps?

Cool, but.... the tyre tread is a bit agricultural for a rod isn't it ?
They look fine size wise but that chunky tread ???????

Back in the early days of hot rodding it wasn't unusual to see a fairly agricultural tread pattern on the rear tyres. You went for the size needed to raise the gearing to lift top speed on the lakes and if that meant using dirt track tyres or something agricultural then so be it.
So while they may not be period correct they are in keeping with the spirit of the car.
And more importantly I like them and they look 100% better than those horrible Revell things that were on there.
