Re: Die-cast 67-72

Good info I see a trip to wally world is in order. I may look at wheels that I can "build up" the ralley style. Spokes from one car, center cap from another and beauty ring from another. Each would need to be carefully cut and "thinned" to make it right. I'll see what I can do.
The thread you posted has some nice builds!
For the chassis I'll do some carving with a dremel and more painting, maybe even add sheet-metal leaf springs and wire driveshafts. Detail painting for the emblems and lights.
Interesting thing is on the original truck, all the trim and lights are just paint, no embossing into the metal.
