Dig the tire trick - nice, simple and helps insure that the opening of the wheel well is the same on both sides and centered. :)
Great color scheme and decals - definitely looks the parts!

I’m not sure where I got it from i’ve had it a while when it’s loaded it measures slightly over 1 inch Perfect for the tire diameter I think you could actually get it at a Lowe’s or Home Depot If not a good machinist type supply house
