Next swap meet in April, I will try to get some striping and race numbers for these and future GT 40 projects, of which two are in the pipeline already.

They look great, they inspire me to have a go at customising some old beaters, how do you refix the bases, thanks for showing.

No I don't. What I do it cut off the dome axle end of another axle and glue it to the wheel. Next I fit the (resized) original axle into the shaft of the wheel, which has the dome head glued on. Now I have a dome head on either side.
