Chris, I want those wheels. They are so close to what I have on the 2nd gen it's not even funny. Before you cut up the widebody you found, maybe you should see if someone will by it as a shell.

the drums need to be pressed out with those screws, or if you can get a drum pulled from the local parts store it will have a slide hammer to get them off.

I've been trying for over a year now to find one in even semi-decent condition here in the Northeast. Yours is espically clean.

Good find!
