  17. I found these wheels at a Dollar Store! They were packaged sepparately and sold as toys with an optional launcher. The wheels are about 10th scale and are very nicely detailed, perfect size for Triangula! I removed the nylon launching parts and finally found a good way to mount these to Triangula! I am grinding the square mounting post down so that it fits inside a thick piece of plastic tubing. Then I found another length of plastic tubing that fits inside the first length of tubing, and it fits the front axle mounts!!! This set-up works Great on the rears too!
  18. Made some progress on STAR FIRE! I cut out the rear seat and floor and replaced them with sheet plastic. I also narrowed the interior slightly. Here is a photo of the seats and console set in place. The bucket seats are from 2 AMT Challenger kits. The rear seats were modified so that they fit flat against the back of the interior. I will either modify this console or scratch build a new console that will drop down from the dashboard and go all the way to the rear window.
  19. STAR FIRE!!! I started the STAR FIRE earlier this year... (It was called MIRROR before the name change.) STAR FIRE is based on two 59 Impalas, a bubble from the 58 T-Bird and Testarosa hood vents. When finished it will float in the display case...
  20. Sorry???
