impcon Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I am need of a new or used usable convertible top boot for either a Revell second generation Z 28 snap kit or Firebird ( lit # 6222 ) snap kit ( as pictured below ) to complete a restoration of an old built up to replicate my son's 1:1 81 Z28 convertible. The one that I bought for him a few years back did not lead a charmed life and the windshield frame is in two pieces, but I think it can be saved. Also a set of the stock wheels and tires would be nice or information where I can find the same style to complete a stock build. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Casey Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 The 1/24 Monogram/Revell '86 Monte Carlo SS has a nice set of wheels like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impcon Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 Thank you Casey.. I don't think that I have one of those but I'll have a look in my stash. Those wheels are a must for this kit to replicate my son's 1:1 convertible. This kit, like the real car, is not very common and a bit on the pricey side. I wish that I had a better body with which to start but this is what I have and I just do not have the funds to dish out the better part of $150.00 CDN for an unbuilt one. That broken windshield frame will be the biggest challenge,, but we'll get 'er/ Thank you for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how noticeable the difference in scale might be? Mind you, the model probably will fall a bit short of "Model Build Up Of The Year".. *GRINS* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) The semi-recently reissued 1/25 AMT Cheverra snap together custom Camaro has the wheels, too, though I can't say how accurate they are.*edit* they appear to be decent, but have a hole in the center and no center cap: Edited March 3, 2022 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO..... size difference will be noticeable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
