Very nice, I love how the Wild Willy driver is checking things out in the background :-)

VW Beetle tribute build of the one my dad had. 2 years 1 week ago #79379

The new narrower wheel adapters has arrived.
Old to the left, new one to the right




So did the Racing Truck tires..
Yes they fit on M-chassis wheels


Fitted to the BR steel wheel...
Hornet tire to the left and racing truck to the right


Had a hunch that the truck tire would be a problem due to the 30mm width even with the narrower wheel adapter fitted...


Wheel now tucks nicely, but the tire to bulgy and rubbing the body to the point it won't roll...


Had no choice other than....


Much better and it will most likely fit now without rubbing..


Two tires is now drying. Has to dry for 24 hours or so..


I used this glue which is flexible and glues rubber among other things...


If they turn out ok I will glue the last two as well..
