Few more pics with the used Boxart wheels, they dont look too bad, still benefit from a new set, but not too bad.....must do the tyre lettering, its a rite of passage lol.

Painted the tyre lettering the other day, and, managed to pick up a NIP chain guard set, so, save for the new wheels, this baby is ready for its final parts to be fitted, and i can call it done, i think the peroxide bleached wheels on her now dont look bad at all, no scuffs to mention, and now, nice and white!

Cant recall buddy, the wife got a hold of it for me, yup, the WIFE got it for me, to bleach wheels, on a toy car hehe!
Just ask in your local Chemist mate. I just tipped it in a steel bowl, put the wheels in, and left out in the sunlight all day.

Sorry, I just discovered that post... Can you tell me a little more about that shortening? Was it a common mod? How was it achieved?

Thanks!
