Hey, thanks Brandon.
What kinda tires are you looking for? The ones on the Funco are called 'Ditch-Diggers' made by 'Denman'. They have all sizes. I needed the skinny ones so the rail could fit on my little 6X12 trailer. They seem to do pretty well, especially in the mud.

Fiberglass Buggy body got back from the paint shop last week. Now comes the fun part, putting it all back together. It won't be long now.
Paint is House Of Kolors 'Kolor Change' Mega-Flake, over custom Metallic Red Base coat. Really comes alive in the sun.

light weight aluminum wheels. the ones on bobs car are wide 5, but i think you can get them late 4 bolt or drilled for porsche pattern.
they seem to be very popular with the cal-look drag racers these days. i've seen pics in hotvw's of allen weiss', troy palmer and dave conklins cars running them.
imo, they are clean and sharp looking. my second favourite wheel. |
