Casey Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 Is there anything in kit form which is very close to the factory full wheel cover for a 1970 Ford Galaxie (not LTD), as pictured below?
ChrisBcritter Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) I have an idea, but it's a bit involved (four pieces) - best for a casting master. You'd need: 1 wheelcover from the AMT Avanti 2 wheelcovers from the Lindberg/AMT '64 Belvedere 1 wheelcover from the AMT '69 Ford LTD Cut out the Avanti wheelcover like the one on the right: Take the center from one '64 Plymouth wheelcover and countersink it into the second so it's level with the cone: Cut down the combined Plymouth wheel until it fits into the Avanti rim. Lastly, cut the center emblem from a '69 Ford Galaxie and glue it to the center of the new cover. Quick-and-dirty version: Use the Plymouth wheelcovers as is and add the five slots with a fine black art pen, like a normal person would do. Edited March 15, 2022 by ChrisBcritter

Oldmopars Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Your best bet would be to find someone with good 3D drawing skills and have them draw them up and 3D print them. I would offer, but my skills in that area are still not to the standards you would want.

I was hoping to find an existing option which was close, as the AMT '70 Ford Galaxie kit's existing wheels and tires are rather unfitting IMHO.
