Yep, I'm planning on being at Toledo!! I'm building this for one of my friends who is now in a nursing home, he had a 1:1 that never got finished and he requested the wire wheels, I am thinking of building it with steelies and then swapping the wheels out when I give it to him !!

I was going to comment on the fat tires with whitewalls/wire wheels too, but if that's what the client wants, that's the way to go! I wouldn't kick it out of bed

But steelies would probably suit it better in combination with the wide whites.
Glad to see the beltline molding added in.
I don't think it's too '70s...sometime in the late 60s, there was probably a car that looked just like this, somewhere. Coilovers and all.

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: with facebook and instagram, it amazed me how many people stopped paying for storage and so many great memories are lost. i will not do that. Nov 17, 2024 13:31:07 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: just want to wish everyone a happy safe holiday season! it's among us Nov 22, 2024 22:57:44 GMT -5
