With a scale in 32nds of an inch you can measure to 1/64th, or even 1/100th. I used to do that when I was making Geodesic dome kits. I got 1/32nd accuracy over 40ft. I doubt I could today.
*I'm doing a 3-view drawing to send to DARKO.It' not to scale,just to give them an idea and work out attachment.I hope to get it out tomorrow and I'll try 'n get it scanned for Saturday posting here at the forum.They're not meant to be a blueprint and a bunch of morphing is going to happen to respect all the project constraints.Compromises.
*The wheels were $7.50-each plus the governor's tribute.They'd be equivalent to around a 205/ 75 R-15,like on the truck.Solid rubber on steel wheels,and a tread pattern.They're really stinky too! Really nasty odor!
Since most of the wheels will be concealed within the fairings and skirts I feel like there'd be some wiggle room here with respect to dimensional accuracy.
