NOBLNG Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 A fellow forum user is putting this together from his parts boxes and I was wondering if someone could tell me what kit the body and the wheels and tires are from? Thanks, Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Body is heavily altered, it could be based on either the Monogram or Revell '30/'31 Ford coupes, or could be a resin piece based on one of those. Front tires are Pirellis from a Sixties Revell kit (SWC '41 Willys, Miss Deal Studebaker, Anglia/Thames, and others). Wheels could be a combination of parts. Rear tires look like the ones from the Revell pro street '41 Willys. Rear wheels again could be pieced together from multiple sources. Basic engine looks like the pro street Willys piece also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Could the Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires be from the AMT 67 Chevelle pro street kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Thanks Mark, good info! The AMT P/S Chevelle that I have has no lettering on the sidewalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I think the rear tires might be from an early (pre 2005 or so) AMT 70 Superbee pre street. I remember my first one in the late 90s had lettered tires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'm thinking those tires aren't big enough (compared to the Pirelli fronts, which are really small) to be the AMT Coronet rear tires. I'll stick with the Revell Willys as a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The rear tires are from the Revell pro street kits: J2000, Beretta, Corvette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did ask him and he doesn’t know what kits they originally came from. They were just a bunch of parts he acquired. I believe Mark is right about the tire source. Now that body….resin??

Casey Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 The AMT Chevy C-3500 Street Machine Dually kit appears to include the treaded, RL M/T tires: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
