Found some cool looking wheels and printed a set for a stalled build. Hopefully the new wheels will get me motivated to finish it.

Here’s a couple of my former Revell Travolta-Bird turned Monogram Firebird Street Machine Firebird/Revell ZL-1 Camaro kitbash.

As a plus they also have my 2 OBS Chevy builds in the background waiting for not so winter weather so I can try to get some more primer and maybe even paint on them!

1970 Challenger T/A I’m converting to an R/T with a 440-6pak and originally a Monogram 71 Hemi Cuda I scored off of eBay that someone had started converting to a 70 Cuda also being built as a 440-6bbl car. Both will have shaker hoods.

AMT 68 Z28 Camaro that I’m building as a restomod/ pro touring car. Modified the hood from the recent Ollie’s 69 Camaro kit. Wheels and tires are from Pegasus. Will have a big block and 4 speed.

Wife got me this kit for Christmas by mistake. She thought she was ordering one of the USPS stamps series and did t pay close attention. I figured I’d try to make something of it so it’s getting some bigger tires and wheels and a bigger engine.

Revell Peterbilt 359

Been sitting on my shelf for a few years. Printed up some parts, stretched the frame 4¾"(130" scale). Now we'll see where it goes from here.20240208_220119.thumb.jpg.e0522f43e542018c371ba434d0882ca5.jpg

Not sure if I like the raised roof on the sleeper.

Started mocking this one up this evening .Revell Stacey David 32 Ford Rat Roadster body and frame.The interior is from the new version of the Revell 32 Ford Rat Roadster. The resin top is from Drag City casting. The wheels and tires are VCG resin items. The 32 Ford pines winterfront grille is from Tx3d customs. I will use a quick change reaction in place of the kit rear end.Im not sure what engine/trans I will use right now.Rocking Rodney Rats’ red 32 Ford roaster he finished a couple weeks was the inspiration for this one.

Love the wheel choice for this. They really work well with the Pinto body.

AMT's '57 Ford.

I flipped the front spindles to drop it a little but left the rear stock "model" height. I think it has a nice rake.

First mock up with wheels for  AMT Ferrari 250 SWB body that has received many mods to fix odd dimensions & proportions. Next step will be to build the chassis to replicate this stance, wheelbase and track. More mock ups will be needed along the way.

Here's some pretty good mock up pictures of a truck that I recently finished. It was a pretty long process to shortened all of the bed components.Screenshot_20240216_204944_Gallery.jpg.3b6aeb33eeb5ebda3337e7692f97ca78.jpgScreenshot_20240216_204947_Gallery.jpg.ce05aeafeaf16ef9dd659b3f84f49fbd.jpgScreenshot_20240216_204950_Gallery.jpg.4f1ae3d86f3197a8065607bc223f8e35.jpg

Here's a mpc 67 corvette that is ready for paint. I shaved the back bumpers for a smother look. 20240221_174426.thumb.jpg.52168f25e6ae9b23eb06aa65977eb911.jpg

And one of the few surviving models of the same kit my grandfather built. Don't ever plan to restore it.20240221_174737.thumb.jpg.6ace2179eb3d60f6c79d8067b295b88d.jpg

Thinking about taking this from Gasser to street cruiser. I printed these wheels and tires. Rears 20mm x 12mm, fronts 20mm x 10mm

Another idea is the 64 Belvedere. First time doing a vinyl top and printed oversized Mopar style rallye wheels and tires. Fronts 22mm x 10mm, rears 22mm x 8mm

This Olds is just awesome!

We need more kits like this today. I sometimes wonder if today's youth would even recognize one of these as a car? ?
