Ron I think they are a cracking idea . Sliders so you dont need to bother with either front wheels , GENIUS. Like a snow mobile for the tarmac.

Those bumper brackets look really well made!

Oh, hang on a second - they look really familiar too

Try and get some more exhaust gas onto those tyres mate
