Not exactly a model but it is 1/25th and plastic. This was a Promo I picked up in a lot buy. It had horrible looking wide whitewalls and cheesy hubcaps and was pretty plain. I added a little detail here and there on the body and grabbed this set of wheels and tires I had from a Revell 65 Chevelle. I had to add small pieces of plasic rod and insert them into the backs of the wheels, drill them out with a 1/16th bit and add standard axles and this is the result. I nice looking 63 Vette shelf model to add to my collection.  |

Nice work, Do you have a pic of the kit box you got the wheels from? They look close enough to brm's for them to work on a future vw build.

Beautiful. They look like they are from the Lindbergh 66 Chevelle.

Stitch, the wheels are from the Revell 1/25th Z16 or 17 (something like that, im not a chevy guy) 65 Chevelle. Its red on the box. These are the stock wheels and they need detailing as they are all chrome and the tires are also from the kit. The red walls were decals. If I remember I applied the decals and covered the tires with semi gloss clear. They have held up for years and fit the Vette well and they are Chevy all the way. These im guessing were factory Hubcaps and not styled wheels. Thanks for the nice words guys. Its just a promo and only required about an hour to get it all spruced up. wanted to cut open the hood and really do this one good but I have MANY kits that need my attention more and this is just a nice looking car so im just leaving it as is.

Yes, the Revell Z-16. I forgot that that kit has those wheels too.
