Mickey Thompson Special Tire Question

[jimclarklotus25]

I was wondering what tires and wheels could be used for this if molding them is not an option.

If you are building a Hobbi Time's 1962 Mickey Thompson, this kit comes with the wheels and tires needed.

If you are fortunate and have one of Lance's 1963 Mickey Thompsons, this kit also comes with the wheels and tires needed. Indycals also has a nice set of 1963 Firestone tires.

If you are going to try to scratch build a 1964 Mickey Thompson "Roller Skate" Hobbi Time also has the 1964 Firestones needed.

As far as wheels are concerned you may have to go to the spare parts box for those Halibrand wheels.

I can still pour the 63 tires and wheels. The 64 tires and wheels have never been done, the tires where Allstate (made special for the Thompson cars) and wider than other tires used at the time.

Thanks Lance for dropping in and giving us some great tips and information on what you're up to!  You always have something good going on!  Really good stuff Lance! Love the 64 Roller Skate!

Mark,

If you still need tires and wheels, I have this set that Juanjo Mas sent me for my 62 build.

I was unable to use them. I don't have the inner rims, but PM me and I will be glad to send them on to you as Juanjo did to me.

Hi Mark!  Glad you stopped by and joined us!  Also glad you could help out a fellow modeler!

Thanks Jim,

Always glad to help a fellow modeler. I'm just paying it forward.

I had a log in way back when, but I couldn't remember it, so made a new one!
