|  does anyone make scale wheel wells?
with all the high lift 'Yotas and Fords out there, does anyone make scale wheel wells for them? I'm sure they could even be a trim-to-fit generic well that could be used with any body and chassis combo... Please chime in Jimmy |

Some people just cut an old tire down to shape. Works very well (pun intended)  | |

TLT Tires work the best...Put the small side of the tire on the inside...fits perfect... You need lots of Shoe Goo...  |

You would think with all the cool scale stuff were getting that someone would be doing these..... another trick is to cut the bottom off of bottles of oil and stuff, a lot of them are already black too, I think there's a write up in the scale tricks section

What happened to fabbing it up? Use some styrene and hot water to get the curve right. Transfer the template of the wheel well and cut accordingly. Then depending on what room you have finish the wall of it.

I made mine out of lexan and shoe goo, probably not accurate to shape but they certainly deliver the look     |

i seen some carbon fiber pre-fabbed ones on ebay a while back that looked great but i think they were about 150 bones. they were for the highlifts. i think they came from the uk.

Lexan wheel wells are on the to-do list for us at SAC Racing , along with other scale goodies. |

He got the Fox shocks right out of his imagination. He got creative and made them. As someone stated before, they are turned down TLT shocks.
