Cars that I'd.....

[GrauGeist]

My 93 Buick Roadmonster Estate Wagon was all American. LS-1 engine.

Buicks are still made at the Lansing plant in Michigan.

I love the wheels on the first three (Salt Flats?), but the wheels the other two are cool as well!

Put the spoked wheels from the 4th from top on the bottom car and it would be almost perfectamundo.

The wheels on #3 and #5 are stock rims painted black.

For centuries we had spoke wheels and in the late 20s and the 30s the style became disc wheels. Then the hot rodders found spokes again and now there is again a market for spoke brushes.

As for the wheels on the third one, "Vintage Halibrand 16×4.5- and 18×7-inch wheels with safety-wired knock-offs and Firestone dirt track tires help capture that vintage racing vibe, and Mike even found vintage Halibrand disc brakes to use up front."....

Very realistic! I didn't see any sprue or ejector marks on that chassis. No sink marks and the joins are seamless! Well done.

Was pretty easy just shake the box & it all fell together.

I had a "Cal-Bug" back in the 80's.

It was an imported German 1966 model with a 1.3L, 6VDC system and I converted it to 12VDC, put 1.6L pistons and barrels (with the original fly-cut 1.3L heads) while keeping the 180mm flywheel.

I had Kleber 145 front tires and 205 rear tires, a selectra-drop front beam, dropped rear axle by one notch, Porsche 36 horse fan shroud, Bosch 009 distributor with a rear cowl offset.

I also had the tinted rear quarter "pop-out" windows.
