Kmb0319 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) OK, I’ve never been one to repost old builds, but there’s something about this little change that made a big difference to me. I built and posted this 70 Camaro build back in 2017. At the time, I wanted to give it more of a “normal” look and shied away from using the Goodyear Polyglas big/little combo that I love to use. I was thinking more of a muscle car/road course car, but I was also not a fan of the Z/28 wheels that came in the kit. After testing a slew of different wheels and tires, I settled on a set of Revell tires and Chevy Rallys, and was happy with the result: But, last week I accidentally broke a front wheel off. I put it on my model table to fix it, and as I was about to do so, I remembered that I had a set of the bare rallys from the AMT 70 Corvette left over from last summer. I tested the one that was broken and thought it made a big difference, so I changed them all. Nothing else is different, but I like this look much better. Thought I’d post it with the new wheels and see if you agree.... all thoughts are welcome. No need for the engine pic... just threw it in.

LouO Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Nice! I have a 70 1/2 that just broke at the spindle. LOL. It's in my pile of fixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Those Rallys without Hub Caps are the only ones I have ever seen. I have that same Corvette kit and have saved those wheels for some other build. The later 8" wide Corvette wheels were a fairly inexpensive way to up grade the wheels on any 1:1 Chevrolet until the price of some after market wheels became affordable and Corvette restorers started paying stupid money for the 8"ers. I have a set and a half, 6 wheels, that will never sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Looks good! I think there's a set of nekkid Rallys in the MPC '75 Corvette roadster that recently came and went and went to Ollie's to die in the $10 pile. I picked up two or three of them just for those wheels and tires, and the metal injector stacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamboat Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Very nice build. I like it better with the Rallye wheels. Will the Firestone's fit on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'70 Grande Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Looks really good both ways! Throw alittle black-wash on those wheels to make some of their details pop-out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
