'66 Chevy Steelies?

[1972 Satellite]

Is there any kit or resin casters that supply steel wheels and dog dishes for a 1966 Chevy (Chevelle, if that matters?)

Hi Michael:

I have used the dog dish hub caps and resin wheels (and tires) from the Model Haus....but capsare for a later model. "Most" 66 Chevrolets would have used a 15 inch wheel so that should be what you focus on overall. Since you are wanting to use dog dish caps the inner ring will not show anyway. The Modelhaus wheels have an outer rim and have flat centers that the cap sits in so the center does not show so you could use them. But then the only other thing will be the style of dog dish cap. The pic on the left is from a full size Chevy very flat overall.....the one on the right (single) is the taller Chevelle unit. Hope this helps.

Regards

Thank you for the help Bill. That is not something that you can just Google. I think my next build will be this cover car from the June 2007 issue of Muscle Car Enthusiast.

Well Rick.....I guess we can Let Michael in....at least on probation......maybe we can convert him )

Oh yeah and Michael......be sure to get specs on the 66 Chevelle.....the wheels appear to be 14 inch and not 15's as on the Corvette and full size cars.......

Later

Dave from MCW is hooking me up with the Chevelle wheels and hubcaps. Do not worry Rick, I got some Mopars on the workbench for you.

I think newest Re-issue, of the 1965 chevy stepside pickup has some dog dish hubcaps. like those. if you want resin the latest scale auto magazine has a nova buildup that shows some in resin.
