I got these from Fireball models, they are 69-70 Pontiac hubcaps. I know they are not correct for a 67 but I really liked them and thought they looked great. They are really good quality and very reasonably priced and they do come with a set of center decals.. They are just hubcap style so you do need wheel backs. He also offers some other Pontiac wheels!
Thanks for the info going to look for them

Yes, you do, sir. I'm guessing that description might be a bit harsh! :-)
Michael, did you pick up a kit, or a promo? The first one I built (in '75, I guess, it was an original release annual) was a kit. This is the second one I've done, since. Of course, it's a promo. I have another promo that I built and stripped back down, that I plan to build a curbside model of Grump's car with. Already have the Cady sheet to do it. I have a kit, as well, but it's an '80. They can be had, fairly reasonably priced.
Thanks, Espo! I love making little detail items--that's where a great deal of my "zen", in modeling lies. I hope it's one of those models that people don't really notice, until they actually look at it. I prefer subtlety in my models. I'm working on the wipers, now. I have the arms cut out of .005" aluminum sheet. I need to finish filing them to shape. I am using flat nichrome wire to make the "bow" part of the blade assembly, and am still deciding what to use for the squeegees. I am open to suggestions, in that regard. At any rate, I am enjoying the "drive", as Snake likes to say!
For straightliner59 its the 74 issue mpc kit not a promo got it at a good $$

I would buy a kit of this car the moment one became available.
My first car was a 1978 Thunderbird. Dark metallic brown, brown vinyl roof, brown interior, spoke hubcaps, whitewalls, 400ci V8 with a 4-barrel added.
I know Lindberg made a 1/32 version, but good luck finding one.
Watching this for sure!
I have the lindberg tbird still sealed if someone could blow up the body and bumpers to 1/25 scale id gladly sacrifice it

Looks like a nice start does the alcohol really work ? how fast does it strip? does it damage or deform the plastic ?
