well..got a lil work done to the chevelle. i was at wal-mart and saw the 1/32 scale jada camaros. and they had these wheels on them..i just had to trade out the pegasus t's for the rallies. in my opinion it looks much better. used the motor i was originally gunna use on my truck on this..and put some aluminum radiator hoses. hood has to be dipped and repainted. well..enjoy!

thanx for looking! any and all comments welcome!

Looking good. Nice sketch. Nothing like a picture to keep you focused. Nice color combo. Is there anyway to get a little taller tire on the rear? The wheels look good, but the rear tires look a little small. Great progress.

Looks good with some color on it.Are those 1/32nd scale wheels? they look like regular Chevy rally's. I like the engine detail, an the silver hoses look cool too!

sure are! a guy on here told me about them. they are of the 1/32 scale jada toys 68 camaro. original rally look..but bigger. i really liked how they looked on his chevelle..and i saw the car at wal mart for 4.95. (cheap considering the t's ran me 13 bux) so i pikd iit up n scrapped it. and thanx! i had some aluminum tubing left over..and some of the pro touring/hot rod guys make stiff aluminum tubing radiator hoses..so thts where tht came from.

If those are the wheels I think they are... and the guy who told you about them is who I think he is... I think he will be able to help you out with the tire selection. He has been playing with them for a while now.
