Ben Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) My first car was a 75 Gremlin, Faun (tan) in color with these hubcaps, about as ugly as they get! LOL I want to build a model of it but I don't remember ever seeing these stock wheels or hub caps anywhere? Even just the hub caps would work as I think the steel wheels were just Mopar, four slot reverse wheels? Edited July 21, 2013 by Ben
knarf Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 hmmm...i know they aren't exact but maybe something you can work with??? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Resin-1968-69-Ford-Mustang-BASE-hub-caps-Missing-Link-/290944075939?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item43bd9e48a3
Exotics_Builder Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 You could go over to Scale Equipment Limited and see if any of their wheels would be close: http://www.seltd.net/awlist.html
realgone58 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I wanted to do the same thing. I did it with my Hornet. However, I can be of no help because I have no idea what kit the dog dishes came out of. I had them in my parts box. I used regular steel wheels, and blackwashed the line in the caps. They are a bit "flatter" than the AMC caps and they don't say American Motors on them. But they are convincing, due to the black accent line.

Pretty close. Might work as a last result. thanks!

I think those hubcaps come in the AMT 1970 Ford police car? Edited July 23, 2013 by Ben
ChrisBcritter Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Cone with a depression in the center... Maybe take the full wheel covers from the '53 Studebaker kit and cut them down to dog dish size, then remove the three little ribs, paint them aluminum silver and add the black ring. Good luck with that lettering, though. Edited July 23, 2013 by ChrisBcritter
Bob Ellis Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Realgone, looks like the hub caps from AMT 1970 police car
