Comments and questions

I got a comment on an article, one I posted on here yesterday, asking for a place to get pro street tires. If anyone else has a question, feel free to leave it in the comment section here (found at the bottom of each post) and I will do my best to get back to you with an answer.

Tires and wheels can be found in several ways. One way is to buy a pro street kit and use parts from it for your current project. Not only do you get the tires and wheels you need, but you get an entire kits worth of other parts for other projects.

Another way to get what you are looking for is a hobby shop. Either online or locally if you are lucky enough to have a decent on close by. Pegasus makes a large variety of wheels and tires to choose from and there may be others as well. Ask your local or online dealer for more information as most are more than willing to help.

Keep in mind that if you are converting a factory stock vehicle to a pro street you will need to make room for those tires and wheels and may need the chassis out of your donor model kit as much as the tires and wheels, or have some serious scratch building skills. Also you may need the rear end and other components to put your project together with, so sometimes a donor kit works better than a set of aftermarket tires ands wheels. I intend to write another article on donor kits soon, and add it to the article library for reference.

I have not made much progress on the camaro yet. I will wet sand it and try to give it another coat of paint today if I can. I want to work on the engine as well and try to find an induction for it from the parts box, so hopefully I will get a picture up soon.

Have a great day, and build something!
