Thanks guys! It looks like the Camaro ones will work.👍

Is there a readily-available kit that has chrome Cragar S/S wheels in 60's drag style? I'm looking for slicks(preferably not pie crusts) & skinnies with the rear Cragars having a deeper offset than the fronts. I know this sounds picky, but it's for a particular project. I know there are a lot of kits that have same-offset rims, or pie crust slicks rather than smoother Racemasters, etc., so this may be a challenge. I'm trying to avoid piecing everything from different kits. Any help is greatly appreciated!

$60 on Ebay

My wife and I returned yesterday from a quick road trip out to the Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial in Arizona. We stopped at the Cadillac Ranch on the way and I snapped a few pics. It's neat for what it is but the Caddys are so caked with spray paint that they're almost unrecognizable...

Yep, from the GMP/Acme "Prosecutor" GTO they just released.

Thanks guys! The wheelbase works out to about 285". I've had the Orbit Orange paint for awhile, leftover from a 1/18 diecast GTO project. I don't airbrush so when I want a custom color I have it mixed. You can get it from Ebay or some auto parts stores will whip you up a can.

Revell to Repop the Will do wrecker !
Mike77 replied to Mr mopar's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
It'll probably be a little higher than that and, compared to the cost of other kits today, it'll be worth every penny considering what you get in that kit. Even if you build it box-stock you have many parts left over. How many kits can you say that about? My pockets aren't deep by any means but I hope to buy a few if I can. And let's face it, with the hobby getting smaller by the day due to aging builders, the possible future uncertainty of Revell as a company, not to mention the current unpleasantness going on, there's always the possibility that this might be the last reissue of this kit. -

Looks awesome so far! What blue is that? -
I think the 36" sleeper would be fine. I doubt many wreckers really need a sleeper but a lot have them. I've never been to Alaska but I'm guessing a sleeper would come in handy if you get stuck in the wilderness, or it would just be a big tuna can for a grizzly bear!
