KEV THE REV 2304 Posted March 27, 2020 So , to keep me sane this week I started to build this vintage Wild One after spotting a vintage W/O chassis tub on eBay . I built some of the items prior to the tub arriving and work commenced once said tub arrived . All built from vintage parts . The roof is a modded alu one that I got from Mokei Kagaku ( thanks mate ) and it will be sprayed black I think . Just need a Wild One / Fox front tyre to complete the parts if anyone has one 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mongoose1983 3335 Posted March 29, 2020 Looks promising. I'm sorry I don't have a tire here to help your build, but it's always nice to see one of these cars. I hope I can come across one of these someday. Keep up the good work, Kev! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shodog 1834 Posted March 30, 2020 Looks good so far. How about going FAV/ Rough Rider size tires and wheels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2304 Posted March 30, 2020 Thanks guys . I have a soft spot for Wild Ones . This is the 3rd one in my collection so far along with a vintage FAV . I've built many over the years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2304 Posted March 30, 2020 1 minute ago, Shodog said: How about going FAV/ Rough Rider size tires and wheels This was an option if I couldn't get hold of a W/O tyre as I have a full set of new vintage RR wheels and rear tyres but no front tyres and I do like the original JR lettering which the FAV tyre doesn't have :( I have to agree they do look good on a W/O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1834 Posted March 30, 2020 Vintage RR front tires are slightly larger in diameter to the ones they produced for the Rere. Another route is a set of aluminum Wild one wheels from the Asian eBay sellers. They look just like the wild one fox wheels but in aluminum. I’ve been fortunate enough to get a set of Tecnacraft wheels for mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2304 Posted March 31, 2020 That's interesting, I've never owned the re re tyres so not been able to compare them. I've got front wheels arriving soon , so it's just down to the front tyre or tyres. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted March 31, 2020 I’ve got some tyres, but Australia is a long way away from you I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2304 Posted March 31, 2020 Yes , I would think the shipping costs would kill it, but thanks for the thought 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
