lowriderphil Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I've been wanting to build a replica of my first ride, 84 buick regal limited. had two hydraulic pumps, 4 batteries, and a set of these car also had a t-type hood and spoiler, not my doing, I bought the car like that. I plan on building down to the faded two tone grey and brown paint and brown interior. I will have to figure out what to about the bench seat though. Phil
B_rad88 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) how about a set from a '66 olds 442 w30? they look pretty close to me! i will take a pic tomorrow and show you! Brandon Edited May 18, 2009 by KUZTOMMODELS88
38 Crush Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 How about the 70 GSX Buick by Revell The exact wheels come in the kit. I think the kit is still widely available 38 Crush
crazyjim Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 These what you're looking for? The front of the wheels are the same design but the backs are different. Wheel #1 is solid while #2 has the slots open.
lowriderphil Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 they look dead on. If they will slip in a set of 5.20s I'm ready to rock. I'm using the revell donk. I think I'll be pulling the engine from a 78 elco kit
crazyjim Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I don't know what a set of 5.20s means. I guess tires. Please be more specific and I'll look in my box of tires.

I'm sorry, their made by pegasus for thier wire wheels. Their designed to look like the old premium sportway 5.20 series the lowriders used to roll on in the 70s
crazyjim Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 So I guess you're looking for skinny (thin) old style tires. I'll check my tire box and let you know.
old low&slo Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) hey phil I dont know if you remember me we met at last years mid atlantic show. I think thats what its called. it's the show in your area after the nnl east. anyways did you find a set of the wheels ??????? if not let me know I may have what your looking for. I have a set of those rims there off the 1970 wildcat by model king that came out like a year ago I think. there all solid chrome so they would have to be painted and they do fit great on the 520's but they dont have the slots let me know greg heres a pic of the kit. found it on ebay.
