Hi again! Revell also had a 57 Chevy snap kit with fairly similar wheels. See below... CT

Hi Greg! At WM, i bought a Maisto 1/24 diecast 70 Chevy pick-up last year. It had two sets of wheels: Cragar Classic style, and an alternate set: just what you look for. They were painted gunmetal, and are 4 identical "large size-low profile tire" size. Let's say 20" with 255- 35 series tires. The stem at the back is easy to adapt to about any build. Hope this helps! CT

Hi Mario! Well, this is being true to the story. It looks the part! Bravo. CT

Hi Francis! Wow, spectacular work, again. That anodized spring makes my day. Now, if I may: I think NHRA regulations require two springs, in case one breaks at full throttle. Here's the deal: I won't tell the NHRA tech inspector, if you chip in for the burgers at our next lunch... What do you say? Seriously, world class work again. Keep on! CT

Hi Gary! Great reproductions, and of course, world class paint. Bravo! CT

Hi Carl! Thanks for the comments! CT

Hi John! Both the model and the pics are world class. Nothing to worry about. Bravo! CT

Hi Francis! Those are very forgiving words from a die-hard Mopar fan! LOL. Thanks! CT

Thank you Larry. Happy you like it! CT

Hi Emre! Well, this is unique and refreshing. Should-we call you Dr. Frankenstein from now on? Bravo! CT

Thanks again Roger! CT

Thank you Gary! CT

Hi Doug! Very nice gloss, bravo! I painted a lot with Centari in the 80's on 1/1 cars and bikes. A cool paint booth would usually get you a good gloss. You certainly nailed it! CT

Thanks Ian! A few Goodguys members have customized 58 Tbirds more as pro-touring variations, but you are right: we should see more of those in 1/1 ! CT

Thank you Tony! My options for a donor roof were limited, but the lenght, width and height of the Cougar greenhouse just "fell in place". Can you say "lucky"? CT

Thanks for the comments, Gary! CT

Hi Tom! Thanks for the compliments, but you just raised the pressure for the next one. Hope I won't disapoint you! CT

Thanks David! As you can tell, the rear pillars are lower and more rounded than the OEM, and windshield is sooooo much more tilted back. It may offend purists, but I feel it makes it more contemporary, for better or worse... CT

Hi Mike! Thanks for the comments, and the good sense of humour! To your point about "charging admission"... That would make this hobby a business proposition, and as you know, in business, distribution is key. I'm not certain we could come-up with a viable biz model... LOL. CT

Hi Seth! Thanks for the photos, and the observations about the kit prices. And bravo for your two trophies! CT

Thank you Richard. Much appreciated. CT

Hi Oliver! Thank you. And you are right: there are many "fit issues" in this kit. Choosing to shut the doors permanently solved a few, but was also a lot of finishing/block sanding work. Reminded me of the AMT Avanti in this respect. Learning curve... CT

Hi Chris! Thank you sir! CT

Hi Mark! Thank you for the comments, and making my education about skateboard! As to the "mad creations", I'm afraid my wife shares your opinion... But, we have more coming, stay tuned! CT

Thank you Alan! CT
