First Look - New Tires and Wheels and Nose (6-24-2009)

Postby imrdirtcars on Thu Jun 25, 2009 12:53 am

Everything is still in 'rough' mode, as i'm doing all the test fitting and adjustments.

The wheels were just spray painted silver for the photos, but will be done in a chrome for the finished product.

The nose is just in raw plastic, and will have some adjustments made.

But, even the rough draft came out pretty nice. Notice there are different types of wheel on the front and rear, I have a number of different wheel designs, mud caps, and beadlocks.

I decided the nose needed some decals, and setup a temporary mounting bracket so i can set the nose where i want it.

I'm going to make some adjustments to the nose. I'm not completely happy with the shape. I'll round the next mold more, widen the ears slightly and raise them up.

I'll be working on this the next few days.

Here's a couple more photos. All four wheels are in place. I tweaked the way the nose was cut out and am much happier with how it looks on the car in this variation.

Here's a fit shot of the rear oil tank, mounting bracket, and straps.
