Hi Bruce! I'm not familiar with auto racing so I probably can't offer anything substantive .

Dude!!! You should give it a shot John. You'd be great at it!!!! I already know I'd be there to help you out with the technical aspects and I'm sure Bruce would echo those thoughts. Just sayin...………..

That's a fantastic bit of conversion work on that bonnet (hood) Bruce - nicely done!

Any thoughts on the missing tyre?

Stuart!

My thoughts are to either fabricate 4 tires at 27” in diameter either by my own hands or by another working in resin, or modifying four tires from the 1/16 AMT Shelby Cobra kit.

Have a look thru the stuff available here, they might have something suitable...

Thanks, Carlos! What a great website. I bookmarked it as well as searched for 1/16 tires. Still may be either sculpting them because street and dragster tires are so different from racing tires and these are pure vintage designs. Closest I have seen are the 1/16 Shelby ones by AMT—those look like the right A types... just super wide!



Just cut these mofos down!
