thank you Rob! The wheels were given to me, because i was on the hunt and asked club members if anyone had any. I guess they come in the "cruisin usa" corvette and the re-issues afterwards of that year from AMT. They are also in the Model King re-issue kit "RAT PACKER" '65 Nova II kit as the rear wheels...would have to bash two kits for a set of 4.

The tires are the same white walls that comes in the Customizing kits by Barris. They are not Firestones though...just blank whitewalls.

NP Bob, Thanks for the Info B) Rat Packer will be my best bet since it's easier to come by, then I can try my hand at casting some. Kind of remember some being in the reissue of Amt's '69 Chevelle or their '69 W30 Cutlass back when I picked them up in the 1990's.

For me, Inverted Astro's always add Style to any Muscle/Kustom/Low Rider, as opposed to the other typical choices.

yep the 69 olds has them, but they have a lip on them that sticks out past the tire, so if you can find the rat packer or corvette...there are more kits with them, just can't think of them right now. good luck and thanks again!

Another very nice build Bob!!! As for the wheels...AMT used them in all sorts of kits as extras over the years. When your as old as I am, and have a collection the size of mine, they are every where..... :wacko:
