Looks great! I'm trying to imagine the sheer size of this project. I don't suppose you could set a built BHE next to the mock up just to compare?
I'm thinking this must be at least a foot long! I would love to tackle a large scale project, but space is kind of limited in the house.

1/8" divided by 2 is 1/16" on each side of the tire .. yes 1/8" inch overall ... when you and I talked (numerous times on my build) you can't always trust the mathematics.. who says the slicks from the 24th scale kit are correct? .. being off a few thousands of an inch can make a huge difference when inflate to 8th scale .. same scenario applies to decal making.. try taking a 24th scale decal sheet and scaling it up to 8th scale.. not all of the decal will be correct ... you not only have to figure the expense of the tire but the rims, and proper back spacing as well ... Jeff has tires yes, and multi-piece mags but sold me the last "barrel" insert for the modified wheels for my project.. the extent of work you would have to do for 1/8" is fairly excessive... when I did the Uncertain-T tire combination I did what I thought LOOKED correct with minimal measuring ..
Pictures can fool "spectators" but seeing in person tells the story... if you're happy with the way it looks setting in front of you then don't sweat the small stuff .. I've had the "T" to 2 shows and no complaints of stance or tire size..lol...
carry on man .. you've got a good eye for this stuff. trust your gut..

I am Diggin' this build, I can't imagine all of the time and scratch building involved. All of you guys who are scaling up these classic kits are doing amazing work.
