Hey Lyn, Thanks for the positive comments. It was a fun project that I managed to complete the night before a model car show. I entered it in the show, and to tell you of the quality of the cars in this competition, I didn't even place. Lessons are learned though. I spent some time trying to find out about the tire size of the slicks. All I could read was they were 7 in. slicks which was the maximum in Stock eliminator at that time. He did run larger diameter front tires though as an article in S/S magazine stated
for better roll out. That's what I did with his. The M&H Racemasters supplied in the kit are molded with 1100-13 on the side wall. I took taller tires from a 1/24th scale diecast Camaro Pro/S car, and there are no markings on those. Hope that helps.
Take care.
Walt
