| First time trying this. I got a really good mold. I used the Alumilite starter kit. About $30, with enough rubber to make one mold, and enough resin to make several small castings. |

| To mold the tire I used Legos to make a dam. |

| One down, three to go. Actually I bought a resin casting kit. This will be my first attempt at casting. The nuts are from Verlinden. The center nut is an actual nut with a paper cover to overlay the bolt hole. Wait, is that a dirty term? |

| One wheel with its grooves. The background is a pattern I made to show the bolt spacing. It took several tries to cut one out that would work on the wheel. Combination of a compas and hand work with an X-Acto blade. The notch is where the valve stem would be. |
