Thanks for that building tip! I didn't know that and I'll keep an eye out for that flaw when I'm building mine.

Yes, they are treadless, slick type racing tires.

I just picked this up on a 40% off coupon. I was more curious about it that anything else because I've never seen or had one of these kits before. I'm not a big MOPAR guy. Looks like a good kit, should build up into a sharp replica with a little work. Here's what's in the box for anyone interested.

Very cool. I can hear that 400/428 rumbling from here. Nothing like a vintage Pontiac. Good luck with it!

Well they were called hubcaps as far as I know throughout the 50's. 60's and well into the 70's. Not exactly sure when the "wheel cover" thing started but to me both terms are correct...depending on perspective.

I got inspired by the 63 Z06 "Mystery Motor" Sting Ray that was featured in my latest copy of Hot Rod Magazine then realized I didn't have a "split window" in my stash. Picked one up today...here's what's in the box for anyone interested. Big block with induction and valve cover options Fuel injected small block Nice chrome five spokes Extremely disappointed with these old hollow Good Year whatever they are.

I like in the fact that the show is about the cars. Jay is a real car guy. I've baled out of most of the "car" shows because of the fake drama and other diversions. I'll continue to watch.

Beauty! I like that color combo a lot.

The interior looks terrific! Should look great with whatever body color you choose.

That might be cool, in it's original form and box art. I was never a big fan of the 1:1 but I'd probably pick up a reissue of the kit in this form.

Could be Ford Toreador Red.

Very good synopsis. Thanks for sorting that out. This all makes me wonder where do the "frictions" fit in all of this?

Here's a Street Fighter version I did some years ago.

Just a quick mock up. looks like they'll fit to me.

Here's what I did with one.....

Another old favorite back again. I like this kit...a lot. Picked it up today with a 40% off coupon. If interested here's what's in that cool vintage art box.

Absolutely, None other than the genius of one Junior Johnson, the then driver who discovered drafting. This is the famous or infamous "Banana Ford". An interesting study on rules "interpretation".

Along with the above mentioned 40, the Revell 37 Ford Pick Up might also provide some stock parts, including wheels,

Welcome Chris. Native Islander here too. Now in Fla. Originally from the Centereach/Holbrook/Ronkonkoma area.

Thanks Ron. if you do the conversion hope you share your progress. I have a few still in the box for the same reason.

Your work is nothing short of amazing. I wish you success with your project.

Looks like a must have even for this Blue Oval guy. Thanks for the 1st look.

Real hard to see but it looks to me that the Hardtop and post sedan have two different roof lines, with the sedan having more of a curve in it above the side windows. That's why to me the Interceptor kit's roof looks too flat.
