does anyone know how i would go about taking the rubber of these with out some SERIOUS elbow grease, or if there is some resin ones out there,  Do you need to save the rubber or you have just to peel it off the metal part? If you just have to peel it, you could mount it on a drill, turn it at a slow speed and peel it with a file. |

Basically all you can do is what Luigi has said. It's a long slow process. Using side cutters would damage the rims since there isn't that much rubber , so it's the motor tool or a course sanding stick.
Chassis looks great by the way.

It gets tough when the rims are like that. Get it to the high point, then switch to an old hobby knife blade use this like a lathe. Atleast these rims don't have ridges like some do, which makes it harder. Get it as close a possible, then use pigs as ash on the rims from the burnt rubber.

if i got 2 of them done i might enlist the help of mr reid to do the rest with resin, we will see, and yes pigs will defo be needed for them  |

Spud I thought of that too. Might be difficult because of all those holes in the rim. If any one can cast them, Steve is the man.

Nice progress Spud.
@ Steve. If I can get the kit I will take care of one of each set ( 4 wheels in all) Remember these are double wheels, two spaced and two sandwiched. Will see where I can get the kit cheap. I don't know about the Trumpy wheels if they would fit.

LOL...I've got the itch already. We can blame T for that. I do have one PZIV that I have to finish. The trailer it will sit on is what held me back in the first place.

lol not much left i can do on this until i get the wheels back, so i may be tempted to start somthing... I had to cut the glass out of the frame and that was a pain in the Ass. I also built the side of the cab and its just sitting in place for safe keeping   |

If you look at the wheels you will see that i think it's the front ones if you look at the back you will see less rubber.
