Looks great Ron, nice details.

How do you hand groove the tires? Do you have a jig to hold them in place and guide the cuts? It's impressive.

Eric, I have a home made jig i use to groove the tires. It doesnt work to good on rubber tire , but works great on resin ones.
Dennis, Then seat came from Early Racing Classics, But there is a way to make one kinda like it.
If you guys will e-mail me I`ll be glad to share the ideas on both.

Great build.
The metal mesh is a great addition.

Do you print custom decals for your cars?

Matt, I have a guy in Lockport NY who prints them for me. He is good and very reasonable.
