wheel modification
Not wanting a traditional lowrider meant I had the come up a different wheel combo. I decided to use a set of Rallye wheels from an AMT El Camino kit. Since each kit used very different mounting methods, a little engineering was required. I carefully tapped out the hubs to 1/8", and then installed 1/8" styrene tubing (blue arrow). This matched the chassis mount points to the hubs with the same inside diameter. New brass rod mounting pins (not shown) hold it all together. The rear hubs have extra material to provide the proper back spacing for the larger tires.
