I can't see the tires very well. I don't have anything against an old rod with stockies on it. If it was me I would use different tires, but the direction you are headed is fine by me.

They look like later Kelsey-Hayes wheels, not stock A. K/H are popular choices.

If I'm not mistaken, those are the (nice!) deep offset Kelsey Hayes wire wheels from Revell's (ex. Monogram) 1/24 1930 Ford Woodie - The only way they might possibly cause trouble regarding "TRaK'ability" is if they're used on a 1/25 model, as they have a fairly large diameter (even in 1/24)
However, seeing that the rest of the model appears to be composed from a Monogram 1/24 '29 Roadster pickup, 1/24 '30 Coupe (hood) and a resin body based on one of the Monogram Model As, there's no problem at all - In fact, here's a little tip:

If I remember correctly, the diameter of the wheels is pretty close to that of the Whitewall tires in Revell's "Rat Rods" series of kits ('25 T-bucket, '29 Pickup and '31 Sedan) so you might be able to trim/sand the centers of those whitewall inserts to fit the deep KH wheels from the 1930 Woodie.

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: with facebook and instagram, it amazed me how many people stopped paying for storage and so many great memories are lost. i will not do that. Nov 17, 2024 13:31:07 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

Nov 17, 2024 17:50:56 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5
