Eeek no boleans !!! im definately not a fan of them they mess up the surface and add more geometry to your model and you loose control .. Thats my oppinion anyway

instead, split the surface in the right place, then select the two models and do polygons > combine on them .. Then merge the edges and vertices..

it takes alonger time than a bool, but the result will definately be cleaner !

well, the mode is all one geometry. I just started extruding from from the back part behind the seat to built the inner area of the tyer. I just need to close the gap.

Yeah babyduck is right, might be that the tolerance isn't set right for your scene. Snapping them would take care of it too.
I'd stay away from booleans... they are evil.

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.

To the "IT"..that is really nice. I really like the model. The tire though could of used some grip . Very cool though! Very cool indeed .
