Any clues as to a good program that I can use to post with? Try a Photobucket account for photohosting.

67airvair Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 One type of Cragar wheel that is hard to find is one for the 13" tire, as in the '66 Corvair year model kit. I tried to get Modelhaus to repop the set from the kit, but Don didn't make them like the kit set. He cut off the backing parts (steel axle studs on the front and a short stud sleeve for the rear) and made them as outside-only halves. I not only didn't get a proper repop part set, but he kept the originals (which he had cut up, anyway.) A 13" wheel is the size used on stock Corvairs, Falcons, and a few other cars. Granted, limited production items, but I always liked the look of a set of Cragars. My favorite on full-size cars, though is the GT version of the iconic SS wheel. The difference is that the GT wheel has a brush finish rim and dark gray/flat black spokes. Would love to have a set on my full-size Corvair. -Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same wheels are in the MPC "Paul Revere and the Raiders Coach", which was also reissued under the AMT-Ertl label in the early 2000's. These are the very best I've found for the "shallow and deep" Cragar S/S wheels used on funny cars (such as the original Nelson Carter Super Chief Charger from the cover of Car Craft magazine) and other period drag racers from the late 1960's/early 1970's with narrow tires up front and wide slicks out back. Several photos of these wheels on completed models.... http://media.fotki.com/1_p,rqddbfsstswgqtgxdfgrwtwdbdtg,vi/fqwbfrtfxrfwgtdbrd/9/998986/4876237/DSC_0290-vi.jpg http://media.fotki.com/1_p,sdqfsqrbwrdbdqgxdfgrwtwdbdtg,vi/sbwrsgdgrxrsrfbgrqq/9/998986/5566936/DSC_0323-vi.jpg ...and the first usage on this model circa December 1969-January 1970 (the chassis - with a different body - won "Best Detail" at the 1970 Detroit Cobo Autorama MPC Model Car Contest, billed at the time by Car Model Magazine as "The World's Largest Model Car Contest".....but I digress....sorry. http://media.fotki.com/1_p,wsbdsqdgwrstwfdxdfgrwtwdbdtg,vi/ttbgfkkkwxkffqrssdb/9/998986/5566778/DSC_0522-vi.jpg Hope this helps...TIM I think this thread could use a bump just based off of this post alone. I'm going to have to hunt down one these kits for an old build I'm revitalizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right the Mummy Machine and Raider's Coach had great big n' little Cragars....luckily I scored a few of each very cheap last time they were reissued just for the wheels.
