First
up from J&S Resin
Racing Parts is their 10" inch wide Firestone
Deluxe Champion Dirt track racing tire. As you can see
they have a very realistic cross cut tread pattern. This
type of tire has been hard to find up until now, believe
me I've looked.
To say that
this is as good as a kit tire would be an insult to this
casting. The master was turned on a lathe to ensure true
roundness and laser straight tread grooves. Right out of
the gate J&S seems to have perfected their craft.
Their are many advantages to using resin tires over the
typical vinyl kit tires, such as being able to use
enamel paints for weathering, and not having to worry
about "tire burn" melting your wheels in years to come.
This tire not only works well for early dirt track
racers and jalopies, but would look great on a nostalgia
rod, track roadster or rat rod. I know of several
modelers who will be ordering these in bulk.

Next
from J&S is their Ford Flat head intakes and
Stromberg carbs. Pictured here are;
JSR R3 (tan resin intake)
JSR 03 (white resin intake)
JSR S82 (Stromberg Carbs)
The Castings are sharp and
mostly free of flash. There is some clean-up around the
base of the Carburators, but a little sanding will take
care of it. I picked these up to use on a track Roadster
model but they would work on any hi-performance flat
head application. These come highly recommended. I
hope to review more of their products in the near
future. I predict great things from this new aftermarket
firm. |
