AMT 1970 Corvette

[jdhog]

I'm working on this old Corvette.  I can't get the stock kit wheels to fit the provided tires the way I want them to.  The wheel backs are also too thick.  I'm thinking about doing something drastic.  I'll offer my apologies to the Corvette purists in advance.

Yeah, I can't make myself use the later model wheels.

I’d probably feel the same way...

Sometimes you gotta try these things ! 

Maybe use the later wheels, and engine , and interior parts ? 

 Drastic is cool !  ?

I'm sticking with the stock 1970 wheels, but the later model wheels have inspired me to build a C4 Vette.

For some reason, the C4 wheels suit the C4 Vette, but I haven’t seen many other cars that look good with them. Mind you, there is a 1:1 ‘59 Plodge in my area with the wheels and drivetrain, and it doesn’t look that bad!
