........I think RMR casts these in resin, not sure how their quality is...I did see one of his "70s Scramblers" casting quality is OK his one of rare caster who cast under vacuum. it's a hard process you need a VERY good pum for a good result. and I think he got a VERY GOOD one. yours

Hey Jeff...killer find. When I saw the pic with the lift & wheels/tires, I broke out in a big smile. Gonna be a very cool truck. Did you use SoReal's rims with the stock wheels?

I thought of you Larry when I did the mockup...how high & what wheel/tire combo would Larry use on a vintage rig such as this? ;D Yeah, it's the cut-down Willys wheels in SoReal rims with their centers removed...I've got about ten different wheel centers set up now for use with these rims (hoops). Kinda like a "modular" system, but that's for another thread later. I thought the Willys centers would look good with the little dog-dish hubcaps!

Jeff, it's the first thing I do...mix & match outers & inners to come up with the best lookin' wheel/tire combo I can. And you know we gotta be creative...just not enough stuff out there for the 4x4 builder. SoReal is on the right track. I keep sendin' e-mails askin' them to expand their wheel & tire line. We'll see.

Yea, neat! I guess you need a lifted mower if your yard is full of beer cans and engine blocks and you don't wanna hit 'em.

....... I think RMR casts these in resin, not sure how their quality is...I did see one of his "70s Scramblers" RmR got a good one... cast under pressure ... don't rember if it's + or - pressure ( pressure pot casting OR vaccum casting ) but they are good. yours

Here's my latest SpecCast cheap finds... 1936 Dodge "humpback" panel: 1957 Dodge Sweptside pickup: Think either one would look good lifted with big tires? ;D
