JJ Deuce Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Wasn't sure where to put this, as it's not a request for a specific part, rather an attempt to locate a suitable part. I'm using Revell's '83 Hurst Olds kit as a starting point to build a kit of my first car, an '84 Cutlass Supreme. It had the wire wheel covers (although I would have much preferred the rally wheels). If anyone could suggest a donor kit for a generic full wheel cover that would represent these (not wire wheels, just the cover), I'd appreciate the input.
Can-Con Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 If it were me, I'd use a set of wire wheels from an AMT Cobra roadster kit. Cut a small disk for each wheel from an appropriate size plastic rod and attach them to the centers of the wheels. You may have to carefully sand the wheel center down so the disk will sit flat on the spokes. a little foil and a bit of red paint should finish it off. Better yet if you can find the red rocket decals but I don't know if any kit has them.
SteveG Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 The AMT 1966 Olds 442 Convertible kit has a nice set of wire style wheel covers in it. You'll have to find some different center caps as comes with the spinner style. -Steve
