Let's love it for what it is.
This one started out as a show car
http://www.hotrod.com/cars/featured/hdrp-0704-1937-ford-patina-three-window/Now of course there's the fake patina, the fake worn off shop truck lettering, the fake patina applied to a fiberglass body( Yes, it's been done). You decide.
Actually, the 37 Ford in the link is a prime example of the "fake patina applied to a fiberglass body", and very well done, at that.

Tins?
Art,
I read that as "sheet metal parts" . Body panels, wings, end plates ... that sort of stuff.

The artwork on the package makes the tires look much wider than they are. They are, according to the sidewall, 215/70 VR15 tires. They scale out to right at 9-inch case width and a 7-inch tread and they look reeeaaalllly nice. The wheels are standard Fujimi quality (ie. pretty nice).

My first thought; "The Shadow Knows."

Part of the reason is my kit contents. At least she is not stealing tires... her normal way to bother me.
Such a cute helper!

It is roughly the size of a Mini and we have several of those.
Actually the Isetta is some 15 inches shorter than a Smart Car and about 62 inches shorter than a current Mini. It's roughly the size of a large washing machine.

If you need to see more a google search on "Corvette rat rod" will yield a few more shots. -
There are photos online that appear to be this car before the 'Caddy Fin Improvement'. Here's a front 3/4 shot:

Contact the caster and explain the problem. If he's reputable, he'll fix the problem; if not, he'll ignore you or ...

Here's one:
I like this one. Do you know who the artist is?
Pretty sure that is Jeff Norwell's work. Looks like his logo in the rear window.

Also in the real world you would never plate the center section . It almost seems that there is one person one the team that's never seen real 1 - 1 cars .
Jeff .
While this is an Oldsmobile rear end and not a Ford 9-inch, it still has a center section like the Ford and it's been chrome plated. There's a prototype for everything; never say never.

Who is MCW? Anybody have a link to their site?
Ask and ye shall receive!

They're probably sharing warehouse space with all the Franklin Mint diecast molds. :-(
Probably at a foundry.

Revisionist experts ? A garage full of cars doesn't make one an expert.
Through the years the meaning of terms change, weather through miss use or miss understanding.
Seems simple enough, "Hubcap", covers the hub; "Wheel cover", covers the wheel.
And the two terms have been interchangeable in popular usage for as long as I can remember and everybody seems to know what is being talked about regardless which term is being used.
Oh, as long as we're being pedantic; "weather" is what's happening outside, the term you're looking for is "whether", a much graver error than "hubcap/wheel cover".

Interesting, how much is that in US dollars ?
About $40

It was "suspended" and now it's back. Guess Bob paid his account.

Please, Master, show us how to push the envelope.

Yesterday, on our way back from my son's Marching Band Competition, I saw a very restorable 69 GTO Judge on a trailer.

You do realize the post you quoted was from 2008, right?
Ah, but what's seven years among friends, eh?
But I do need the air in my tires changed.
