    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    So after a lot of work and searching for Scale tires and replica wheels, I think they are done.
    Actual vs Scale tires and wheels.
    Wheels 17" ÷ 9 = 1.89"
    Scale wheels. 1.9"
    Tires 275x70x17
    Width 275mm ÷ 9 = 30.56mm
    Height 32.2 (817.8mm÷9=90.87)
    Scale tires 90mm x 30mm

    Went with Satin black. Since these are actual beadlock wheels they had to come apart to paint. Also had to paint screws since I did this on my truck. NO exterior chrome but I have to admit they look good leaving the screws unpainted. Since tolerance on these is so tight I had to touch up every screw. Paint scraped off on every one during assembly. Next time I will anodize.

    Now that they are done I'm working on scale center caps :D
    20200119_174417.jpg
    20200119_184313.jpg
    Now just waiting on new suspension so I can install hidden body mounts before painting(end of February I hope).

    I love how this is basically going to be a carbon copy of the real thing. Makes the whole entire build worth wild.

    Well I am currently looking into shock options to match my Kings. Cant seem to find any Kings with remote reservoir so I may have to combine and/or modify some. Will have to wait for new suspension to know what size I need. These are all 80mm long which is the expected length.

    Remotes but not kings.

    20200122_183856.jpg 20200122_183752.jpg Thought I was done for now but forgot windows. Made some cardboard 0templates for the windows. Kit comes with oversized extra thin plexi but I'm going thicker. I will curve the windshield and all windows will be tinted.

    New lazer cut windows by @MESO . Not much he can't do. Thank you. 1 clear and 1 tinted set. Had one extra windshield made to practice putting in the curve.

    Even tho I'm not ready for it I had to test fit the smoked windshield. I can see I need to paint the window frame black before install. Will have to test fit the rest before paint. It's going to be much better than clear windows :D
