Thank you all for you you help, but success comes from odd places. A buddy of mine gave me a bunch of kits to give away at the next IPMS St. Louis meeting. He can't model anymore since his hands shake so bad. Just to pass the time today I sorted through that pile of stuff and found a RPM kit of a Ford Tfc in 1/72 scale. It has spoked wheels, not wire, but they'll work for this project. Thanks again, folks.
