Karl,

Thank you, much appreciate the comment.

After fixing the front bumper and bumper bracket, I needed to find and suitable axle for the tires.

I rummaged through my brass and found a 1/16" brass rod that was the perfect fit.



More in a few.

I then removed the rest of the plastic axle from each wheel and drilled a 1/16" hole part way through the wheel from the rear.



I cut two pieces of brass 19/32" in length for the axles.

Both axles were glued in place using CAA (super glue).

Nothing to add here.

Now for a little body work and I'll be ready to paint.
