yellowsportwagon Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 The first Moebius kit I’ve built. WOW what an excellent kit. Totally out of my norm. Probably the third fifties car I’ve built in 45 years of model building. Turning out to be one of my favorites ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I like your build style on this. As you are minding out the Moebius kits are kind of special and they offer some unusual subjects also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowsportwagon Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Got some more done on it. Basically box stock with the exception of being lowered about 3/16 of an inch and old Johan NASCAR Superbird rims. Looking to put some bullet center caps on it.

espo Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 On the Wheels, you mentioned Bullets and I'm not sure if that is a single big bullet. A style years ago was called a "Spider" that had a chrome cover over the Lug Nuts and the center had a small bullet. To give you an idea of what I'm thinking, the mounting was held in place by the Lug Nuts. The chrome cover had small almost unseen screws that attached the chrome cover to the mounting bracket. These first started appearing in the '50's about the time that Chrome Wheels were becoming common. These would hide the Lug Nuts that usually weren't so pretty.

mredjr Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Tim the 56 looks great but I love the USAC car in the background. You did a great job on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espo, I think this is what you're referring to. A single chromed dish would be called a baby moon when it's just large enough in diameter to cover the lug nuts. Hope this helps some...

It is a center cap that would slide in from the back of the wheel covers just the hub opening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for our modeling this might be something you will have to create from plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
