unclescott58 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Those I have the stock caps for! The only problem is, My 1:1 '67 300 was a late production car so it had the '68 style caps. Well, I can't in good conscience steal the ones from the '68 kit. Then what will I do for the '68? Although, my '67 had Cragar SS wheels on it for most of the time I owned it, so I may have to go that route. Steve Or pretend/forget that your 1/1 '67 did not have the '67 wheel covers. And build it with those covers.

Mine didn't have the buckets & floor shift.Mine was a bench seat with column shift.I guess if I could find a suitable front bench seat, it would be a possibility. Steve

SteveHeck, I'd build it more the way I wish was. Rather than the way it really it was. I repainted a '61 AMT Comet a few years back to match my Dad's. His real car had dog dishes and no radio. The model depicted a car with full wheel covers and a radio. If he could have afforded those two items when he bought the car, he would have included them. So the model depicts the car close to what it was, and could have been if he had the extra money.

I'll most likely go that route in the end. At least for the interior. I'm still going to do the vinyl top & the same colors. I'm still thinking about those Cragars though. I love Cragars! Steve
