Hey All-

Just joined and was blown away with all the knowledge out there! Great Forum.

I have a question regarding Warren Johnson's 2001 Black & Silver Grand Am. I'm re-doing a PMC 1/25 diecast to duplicate his 2001 car but I'm having difficulty finding the correct GOLD front wheels. Also looking for some more pictures of this car. I've looked at a few sites (including the oldhippie.com) and am not having much luck.

I'll post some pictures here soon on my progress.

Any help in these 2 areas would be greatly appreciated, THANKS!

I tried to fix that link more than once and it always reverts back to that link above for MAS. When you go to MAS just look for wheel centers on the left side and click on street and look near the bottom of the page for the wheel centers you want. You'll have to buy the skinny front rims and tires separate then you choose the center you want to go with them.

Thanks for the info. I'll be looking into those wheels over the next couple of days. I have a couple of side pictures now of his car but an still looking for a rear 1/4 veiw.

Welcome,anytime. I tried, but I just can't find any pics online.

[Build Up Boy]

Yeah, for some reason that car is really photo scarce. Must not be one of his public popular cars. I appreciate your time in searching though. I've got a couple of his hand outs when we were at the track back then, should've taken some shots with the camera. (little did I know

Here's a few of what you need.

Here's one of the same car only with black wheels.

Also, the wheels from MAS are not really as close as you might want. Send me a PM and I can supply what you need in resin.

[Build Up Boy]

Yep, that's a GREAT help, thank-you! Great pictures, where'd ya get them?

PM is coming.

Here is the Warren Johnson body I did for a slot car customer. Comp Resins body with Slixx decals. Not exactly correct but you get the idea. I did do the Firebird version of this car and was short on the correct markings and had to improv.
