JTRACING 02-21-2012, 03:54 PM Cool!!! excelent job..please could you explain how you do the tire process. Hi, no problem I sand them with 120 grit. then give them a wash with soapy water. apply decals. then spray tire treads with dull coat, and while its still wet roll them in cigarette ashes. it makes convincing tire pickup. I think I seen that method from someone on this site a few years ago. F1Tommy 02-21-2012, 04:34 PM very nice model. I like old stockcar models. You really did a great job on the interior.
