   1958 Virginia Sweepstakes Race Winner Fireball Roberts

   Since I have two different Fireball Roberts 57 Ford's (red w/white & Blue w/white) I wanted one of the '57 Chevrolet's that he also had driven. This is a Copy of his '58 Virginia Sweepstakes race , Race car. The Car is a Re-tooled AMT/Ertl 57 Chevy, The tires and steel rims came from a Revell 57 Chevy Sedan kit.

   This is the '97 Buick Lesbre That replaced the '95 that I had. It's a very nice car, It's even the same color my 95 was. The pictures were taken at the dealer the day before I bought it.

   These are the only Kit's I have, My Model buying budget went out the window, I had to replace my 95 Buick Lesabre due to Issues that it was having, Among those were: Headlights quitting  (dimmer switch), Transmission was acting up, The engine was still going strong at 290,000 Miles on it. Please Note that I am on a fixed income and If i buy a kit it will be built. So there fore I don't have a "stash" of kit's to work from. My thinking was that someone would at least  use them for kit bashing/parts

   Revell 57 Chevy Bel-Air Sedan

   I do like Revell's 57 Chevy Bel-Air Sedan's But the one flaw that the kit has is the stock rim's. To solve that problem I decided to use the tires, and rims from the Re-tooled AMT/Ertl copy. I do think they worked out better than what Revell put in the kit! What do you guy's think of the tire/rim swap over??

   Those are really nice! Maybe you should build Ultra Magnus to go along with prime, Since they were the same make of truck! Picture of the Toy copy found on the web.
