    John, here's what I came up with from my stash: The rear tires represented here are the front tires from Revell's old Datsun stepside pickup with dirt bikes and trailer...spoke wagon wheels (these are six-lug, you'd have to redo the centers for your four-lug) are from an old MPC Chevy pickup. You would have to narrow the front rims, but they have the spoke shape you need. The fronts are MPC Goodyear Suburbanites. Mocked up on a Tamiya Beetle...

    I took the liberty of re-posting John's old pic of his Bug so we can match some wheels & tires I'm gonna dig thru my stash to see what looks right...

    WELCOME Scott! I think the 3.8L out of the Revell/Monogram Regal would look fine in the Firebird engine compartment, even though its 1/24...

    A few progress pics: Tough to photograph, maybe I'll try outside... Black embossing powder on floor, robbed CORRECT hi-back buckets from the reissue, with Tamiya white primer finish, polished with 6000 grit. Couldn't make the kit shifter look good without whittling down its bulk and replating, so I used a staple. Bent to shape, sanded and polished. Cut the boot from the stock piece after alot of cleanup to get the vinyl pleats better... Thought a white shifter ball might really POP with the white seats... And a comparison: Fabbed up an ignition switch by drilling the column, squeezing an aluminum tube to form the 'ears', and using photoetch for the rest. WOW this stuff is TINY!!! Sure hope you'll join us Roger!

    Slowly getting the interior done. Took care of the biggest hurdle today, spraying the headliner. I was worried about getting white on Billy's excellent blue paint job, but it came out nicely with no white where it shouldn't be...whew! That was a relief Got a finish on the seats that I'm happy with, Tamiya white primer polished with 6000 grit. We'll see how it shows up in pics later...

    Glad to see the Blazer coming back, but even happier to see the '37 Chevy and the Mack!
