I'll be watching this one. Will you be posting a photo of Jairus' drawing? Later-

That IS a great piece of history. And $.53 to airmail that in 1929. That wasn't cheap. Later-

I love the color on the Camaro. What is it? Nice variety you have there. Later-

Thanks for all the help guys. Sorry about getting my panties in a bunch. I guess it must have been a case of parts swapping. I guess I'll have to find a set of the 5 holes from the Streaker Vette or I may need to use a set of the stock 67 wheel covers from my new Revell 67. Anyone have a spare hood they aren't using that they would like to trade? I've been looking at colors for it and I'm thinking either Goodwood green, Lynndale blue or Elkhart blue. Later-

Those look like they'll work just fine. They look like a mix of your option #1 and #2. They look much better on your build than they would have in the bottom of a box in my garage. Glad I could help. Later-

Thanks for that, Monty. I appreciate the help. Later-

Ok. Let me try to get this back on the topic of post #2. I believe this is the kit I have. http://m.ebay.com/itm/191082326878?nav=SEARCH The chassis pan has MPC molded on the inside of the gas tank area. It is molded in white plastic. Now. Here comes MY question. Does anyone know if THIS kit has the 4 hole wheels? I am not asking about an AMT kit, or about metal springs. Sorry if I offended anyone. Thanks for any help. Later-

After looking through some more photos online I believe it is the MPC Golden Wheels 67 Corvette. Can anyone confirm that kit having 4 hole kidney bean style wheels? I still can't get a clear view of the wheels in that kit. Later-

So, I got a built up Vette from a friend who bought it at a yard sale for me. It needs a couple of parts. I thought it was the Streaker Vette but looking at the Streaker on the net it has 5 hole kidney bean wheels. My kit has 4 hole wheels with a tiny hole or divot between the kidney bean holes on each wheel. Could this be the MPC 64 Vette? I am missing the hood and one front tire and wheel. I would like to post a request for parts in the Wanted section but I want to know what kit to ask for parts from. Any help identifying this kit would be great. It is molded in white plastic, if this helps. Later-

So do you use square rod around the perimeter of the inside in order to sand the rounded shape along the top? Got any photos of how you shape that area? Later-

Those are all cool. That 55 looks so much like the one I had a chance to buy. OUCH!! Just kicked myself again. Later-

Blair- I enjoyed following this build and like many others you have inspired me to build one. Great job on it. Later-

I love this build. The paint is gorgeous and the stance is killer. I have to ask. What did you do for painting the white on the battery? It has just the perfect look. I thought if I did that to the battery in the build I'm working on it would be just a bit more contrast in an all black engine bay. Later-

Very nice work on both of those. The weathering is fantastic. Later-

Turned out great. I like the paint detail on the front wheel wells. Later-

Really coming along nicely. I can't wait to build mine and would like to find another......or wait for the 68 to be re-released. Later-

These are what I have. The ruler is in mm and it looks as if they are the same size as your white VW rims you posted. Sorry for the bad pic. They are yours if you want them. I have the rear half (hub side) too for these. PM me. Later-

That thing looks great. Nice color and wheels. Later-

Let me do some digging in the morning and see what the size of the ones I have are. I'll post it up by tomorrow night. Belugawrx- I'd be interested in those. Later-

Looks real good so far. Nice clean building. Yes, the plug wires are a bit long. The plug wires should have some droop. Keep it up. What are your plans for cutting on the next one? Later-

I think I would also try a set from the Lindberg 34 Ford. If you can post some dimensions on the fronts that you have I can check the dimensions on the ones I have and see if they are smaller. My guess is that the set from the Mercedes is 1/24 scale. Later-

The Tamiya 66 Beetle has a beautiful engine...but I'm no VW expert. Looking good so far. Later-

Those Traxx are cool. Later-

That foil is also good to glue behind taillights to give them that prismatic look. I recently bent up one of those jumbo paper clips to make the rear sway bar in my 66 El Camino. I have bought some cheap computer speakers from a thrift store and used my cut off wheel in the dremel to cut the metal screen off and use it as a grille on a Mustang. Later-
