Been in a vintage Monogram groove lately .....

 

The last of my holy grails, and you have one still sealed. Outstanding!

Developing a passion for LSR. Found these 4 Hawk/Testors sealed streamliner kits on eBay, CAD$80 for the lot including shipping from GB. These are very simple toys (rubber band powered) and sold as 1/32 but they are a good fit for 1/25 1950's style streamliners (see size comparison to Ferrari 275P). Essentially these are only body shells and absolutely everything underneath needs to be fabricated. My kind of project!

I almost bought those wheels, but here in NH, the ones that come with the kit are the ones on our state cruisers. Unmarked use the same, or the full hubcap. I am not sure if it based on year or option package.

The kit wheels are for the AWD 3.6L version, but the kit is a RWD 5.7L. Your cruisers are probably AWD. Here in California, it appears that we have both because I see both styles on the road.

Actually, they are 5.7 AWD. I was never sure why some got one wheel, and others got a different wheel. Now I know Thanks for the info.

After picking up the 2022 Corvette yesterday, I found myself adopting another one to give a warm safe home today. Don't ask me why I like these cars. I would need another thread, a shot, and some time on a couch to explain it.

Went to see my friend Ron at RMR. Spent a couple days learning more about making molds and casting. Which means I finally got around to making a mold for the Suburban engine bay!! 

Also went shopping and made some stuff while there....LOTS of 64 C-10 parts and kits now, other parts/kits.
