Mark,
The roll bar material was purchased from a hobby shop and is 1/16 inch diameter aluminum tubing. I cut/bent/sized it to form the cage. The padding is an adhesive backed foam (about 1/4" wide) that I then wrapped around the aluminum tubing. VERY realistic! The wheels were produced by computer. Believe it or not they are just paper! I took original photographs of the wheels I needed and then scanned them into my computer. The scans were then sized down to the scale I needed and then cut out. I then carefully cut them out and spray glued them over the existing wheels. You aren't really expecting anything on the car to be paper, so they DON'T look like paper!
Hope this information helps and PLEASE send me photos of your car when you are done!!!
