I just zoomed in on the above image, and it looks like the wheels in the XR6 kit, both front and rear, do not have a raised lip around each "window". Is that correct? The below three Hands four-lug wheels, which I think are from the parts pack, all have a raised lip around each "window": Edited November 12 by Casey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RancheroSteve Posted November 13 Speaking of the XR-6, here's a page that ran in Rod & Custom a few years ago. It supposedly shows Tex Smith measuring the slant six. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to muddy the waters even more, check out this Vicky. The blue coupe probably has the original issue parts pack wheels, but no idea where this Vicky got them. Supposedly built in 63, and they arent from the Vette, the XR6, or the parts pack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Darby Posted November 16 I'd love a look inside that 27 T /XR6 tool. While portions were obliterated for My Mother the Car and the Cinder Bug, I'll bet 2/3rds to 3/4ths of it could still be there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casey Posted November 17 At the risk of taking this topic even further down the rabbit hole, here's a vintage aftermarket wheel ad showing some zero or positive offset wheel made by Per Spec Industries, which look very similar to the Hands wheels found on the various AMT kits mentioned above. They appear to be four-lug wheels with a slightly flared or raised lip around each window, too: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The body insert was moved over to the Vicky/Phaeton tool in the mid 1970s for one run and hasn't been seen since. The only 32 Ford AMT currently has available is the Victoria, which is a completely different body. Google is your friend, Bob. Please Research before you post misinformation. That 32 Ford 2 door sedan was a Street Rods kit about 1975-6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Dave. I know some things, but not everything. I remember the '70s very well. Some of it ,I liked. Unlike the '60s, you had to wait for Trophy kits to return slowly as Street Rod kits. And the prices were really climbing by 1975.When the 1951 Chevy came out in 1976, I was amazed. I bought that 1932 ford sedan about that time and never built it.

I recall Mark B mentioned AMT's decision to decrease the number of clear parts in the same topic, but no luck finding it yet. Back to the wheels, it appears they were somewhat in fashion at Ford, too, as seen on this Ford Cougar Torino styling car: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recall a thread about the AMT Corvair where Mark mentioned decontenting the clear parts. They tooled up a new fan shroud that was a poor fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
