Having installed all 48 torsion bar tubes, torsion bars with their anchor points as well as most all the work on 48 swing arms I've begun assembling the rest of the wheels(96 halves to make 48 complete wheel pairs) and making tires. I had planned to make 4 tire molds but only made two. I'm rather glad I did as their performance is rather inconsistent; one produces great tires seemingly every time, the second not so much. I think I'll make a third using a different approach to see how it goes, I'd also found a company willing to engrave names/ tire size designations but again glad I didn't pursue that yet, however I still may.

Below you can see some of the progress.
