landman Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Thanks guys. Revisiting the possibility of fabricating disc wheels and fabricated Vent window dividers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Macleod Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 My humble opinion- the discs look great and very period correct. I'm personally not as enthralled by the vent window idea as I think it breaks up the lines of the body too much. No matter how you slice it, your workmanship is top notch.

landman Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Debating the following: Sidemount spares + trunk No sidemounts but twin spares in the back instead of the trunk. More dabbling with the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Came up with this. They sorta look the part. Now I have to figure something for the top of the hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Chassis is pretty well done other than adding the wheels and some detailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I like your wheel solution. The styrene centers could use some cleaning up on the outer edges but otherwise looking really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 White without a doubt. That adds a layer of ellegence to a large custom bodied sedan like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I agree the white will look the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I think white walls work best with a dark wheel. Generally, I think a chrome wheel looks best with blackwalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
