jack_c Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Cheers Paul, another question, what colour do you paint the wheels? Wheels are sapphire grey, In my opinion if you were going to do a 6499 I wouldn't use the 6475 cab, if it were me I'd use the 7499 cab for that conversion, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Forgive me if I'm being stupid but what exactly is flaring the wheel arches? Is it taking a bit of the front where it meets the steps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 yes james exactly that,but i didnt do it a member on here done it for me,what people usually do is add very thin plastic card to the standard arches then make them wider then shape them,i got it done the other way,the standard mudguards on the 7499 from universal hobbies are wrong,i hope this explains it Forgive me if I'm being stupid but what exactly is flaring the wheel arches? Is it taking a bit of the front where it meets the steps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
