Insert painted black #8 pins (tire bolts) in the rim holes from the inside of the wheel; 21.
twelve (12) in total and CA glue pins in place; cut and file the pin shafts flush with the out -
side wheel rim surface and file smooth. Repeat Steps 20 & 21 for all wheels. Should a pin
loosen during cutting or filing operation just re-glue and allow glue to set.
Cut/score a line in the surface to the wheel rim sidewall centered between the spokes with 22.

to both the inside and outside edges of the plywood wheel rims. Again with a sharp #11
Xacto blade remove a slight arcing (scallop) cut between the painted black wheel bolt
(pin) heads and the spokes. There are no cuts in the section with the rim cleats. (See Pho-
tos 30 & 31) This rim detail was typical for buggy wheels of the period to help reduce the
buildup of mud on the rim surface. When cutting with a sharp #11 blade start at a spoke or
bolt head and slowly cut using a slicing action with the blade and remove just a little at a
time and be sensitive to the grain hardness of the plywood and use the stain as a reference
gauge.
