I'm not going to weigh in on TRaKability because I tend to end up on the wrong side of the popular opinion, no matter which side i choose.

However, I need to know the source on those wheels. they look like they are fitted to the Monogram separate whitewall tires and slicks. They look great!

No Question of Trak-A-Bility in my opinion, the finish is shinier than one would expect for the period, but it looks like a "High End" High Roller Gasser so that's OK!

Like those wheels too, they fit the car well, look the part and just look right! Color choice is great, almost looks like someone got ahold of some "plum crazy purple" and slathered it on an ultra-straight '37 Chevy Coupe.

Craig, I have no idea where the wheels and front tires came from I found those in my parts box. I did spray them with some dull coat to give them more of an aluminum look. The slicks are out of the AMT parts pack. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Thanks. It's my mistake assuming they were the Monogram slicks. If they are the AMT there are waaay more wheels that fit those tires, so that is helpful.

Either way, they look great!

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.
