Y'all will have to thank Pops for the wheel choice. I'm kinda with you though, I squinted really hard but couldn't see having lo-profiles on her either. However, if you went with some 22" spinners......Wink

Nice looking kit. It looks like something Wolverine would drive.

I like how that turned out.  Great idea using the spare decals.  They give it a nice aggressive look.  I will agree with the doog on the wheels/tires too.  Thanks for sharing.

Those decals are a nice way to spruce up an otherwise ho-hum color. (my fiance' and I were just remarking to each other on the over-prevalence of metallic silvers and greys in the cars today) Its a unique twist--nice job!

Glad you stuck with the kit wheels, too, and didn't go for any of those ugly low profiles!  Yes

Had some spare time, so I got to plinkin' around with this Firebird that my dad asked me to paint for him. I shot it with Testor's Metalizer buffing aluminum. The stripes are from the leftovers of an old Microscale (had it since '85) F-100 Sabre Airguard sheet. They went with the New Mexico bird. Solvaset got them to hold tight to the fenders.
