I was thinkin the same thing. I've been scouring around looking for kit wheels that would be appropriate for this build.

Modelhaus has copys of the stock wire hubcaps from the '77-'79 promos.

I picked up one of these kits a couple weeks ago and was surprised to see how close in size it it to the promos. Just looking at the body out of the box it looks conciderably larger than the JoHans but it isn't.

IIRC, the interior in this one is the same as in the first lowrider release. only the donk had the button tuffed seats.

Yeah you're prolly right. Button tuffed is tacky in my opinion. But yeah are those modelhaus copies still available?

Oh no, in my original post i mentioned that i read over the instructions out of curiosity. I looked at each sheet a couple times and i saved tthe other kits sheet because i lamented the fact there was no stock susp. option

I do the same on hobby search website, for when I am thinking about buying a kit from a Japanese company

[Scuderia]

Yeah once the prices rise its good thinking to try and find out what's doin. not every kit can be 11 or 15 bucks lol

If it can/could be built stock or very close to stock, I'm in.

I was doin some research on something unrelated and stumbled back on this project idea. Jon asked about pricing and looks like the Modelhaus reproductions of the promo wire wheels are $8.00.
