[glow=red,2,300]HI BLOATATION TIRES!!![/glow] The Front Deals Wheels tires are a different style than the Huge "HI BLOATATION" Tires for the rear. So I made New "HI BLOATATION" Front Tires, a little smaller than the rears. I made them from Resin Deals Wheels Tires Inserts, made by fellow modeler Ward Sharke. I took 2 inserts and cut a 3/8 inch slice from one of them...  Next I glued the 2 Inserts together. Then I cut a strip of sheet plastic for the tire thread.  After the Tire Thread was glued in, I sanded it smooth and sprayed the New Tires with Grey Filler/Primer!   |

[glow=red,2,300]GOT THE HOOD!!![/glow] The Killer Bee VW kit had only a Tarp Cover on the front. I found an extra VW Hood in the Parts Box, so I decided to put a Hood on Mud Bug!  I Carved and Fit the Hood Area untill I got a tight fit on the top edge of the Hood.  Here is the Hood glued in place.  The VW Hood is longer than the shortened Mud Bug front end, so I bent the bottom of the Hood in about 1/4" and attached it with Zap-A-Gap. Then I carved about 1/8" from the bottom edge of the Hood.  |
