Kewl! Although I'm not worried about the brand name, figure those could change. Maybe this shows my problem better. In my tire stash, the closest things I've got are these. The slightly larger tires aren't really much wider at all over the other ones, so I fear it will just look like I've got crummy mismatched tires going. I'm thinking it's serious enough that I should source a dedicated set.

Wondering where I can source appropriate tires for my build of Daisy Duke's GMX? The kit tires are 1) much too narrow, 2) too big for the appropriate wheel hubs (thanks for them Lee!), plus 3) it appears the rear tires might be just a LITTLE bigger and wider, but are not huge racing flats. Here are a few photos I've taken from the show or found in my research; what do you think, and where can I find appropriate tires?

Thanks for the reply! I'm not doing F&F, but I imagine the comparison might be the same (will be Daisy's car). I'm using an aftermarket hood, and didn't know if it would be incorrect to use this engine top-area with that kind of hood. If it is wrong I do have the air cleaner for the 69 Charger, if that helps. Or I can keep the original if it's fine. I've actually been going through episode footage trying to see if there are any scenes in which the hood is open, i.e. at the Duke Farm...only such scene I can find is for the previous-used 74 Roadrunner, which is a different beast.

This is a photo of an award-winning Lincoln-Continental Mk III owned by a family friend. Photo from late 80's, is the only pic I have of it. Was repainted in original factory color. I'm trying to find the correct color for this, to buy from Scalefinishes.com. Not sure if this is a '69, '70 or '71, and therefore have no idea which green to select. 69's green possibilities seem to be Silver Jade & Lime Gold. 70's possible greens could be Medium Lime, Three Putt Green & New Lime. 71's could be Pinto Lime & Medium Green. I'm hoping it's one of these. So many of these seem similar, and with lighting differences, I have no idea! I defer to y'all's wisdom; please guide me to a correct(ish) color!

I totally understand what you're saying, and I think you're right for what the character would have had. Speaking for myself, I much prefer the sleeker lines of the 71s...I think it's the meanness of the grill area. So, I'm getting the Revell 71 GTX and the Harts Parts Satellite hood....so what officially do I call the final thing? A 71 Satellite, a 71 GTX or a 71 Roadrunner? No use Googling it, you get conflicting answers, with most claiming a 72 RR....
