Great job on it H22.
Love those 5 window coupes.

DF2,
As far as I can remember, the front tires came with the kit. The rear ones were way too large, so I used PPP dirt tires. |

Drywall fiberglass mesh is what I use. Comes in a roll. Find it at any hardware, home improvement place. It's pretty close.
