Finally! Some dirt tires for modifieds!

Postby btaylor » Sat May 16, 2015 10:18 am

Yes Sir, Ol' Shotgun has gone and done it again! We needed some serious Hoosier type dirt tires for these heavy hitter Modifieds we have been building, and sure enough, Dave came through with a set! These are the first and only two in existence right now, but there will be more I am told. :whistle: very good compound on these, and they sure look the part in my opinion. Thanks for doing this Dave, its theses kind of details that make the models look good as well as run good. ImageImage

Excellent piece of work sir.
It just makes the difference in looks between toys and replicas of the real thing.
Well done Dave.

Those really look good. The ones that look "worn out" mimic my 1:1 tires :)

The way that tread is wearing on the front, maybe you should check the front end alignment. Those really look nice.

Would those tires fit into the "hogged out" wheel wells of one of the Fairground Heros cars?

Yes Sir! those are the little puppy's I have been waiting on! Great work Dave, talk about something that didn't exist in this hobby!
Nice addition to our stockers of any kind.
