MPC wheels

[Vettegasser]

Anyone have a set of the wheels out of the original lil hustler.  The big and little square hole slots. Like these

I've got two wheels that look right. No backs though.

By the width, I'd assume these are rears.

[Vettegasser]

Very cool what you need for those

 I've got a gasser challenge build coming up soon. Will be building  an AMT 55 Chevrolet that I cut the IFS off the frame 35 years ago and will use Evergreen to make new straight frame rails and the kit gasser axle. 

I need something period correct for wheels for it I think, or maybe a 409 motor?

I've been leaning toward traditional customs of 30's car lately. Maybe something along those lines?

I'm even up for a surprise if you think you have something..

Also like oddball old resin. I might need to find a way to sweeten the pot for something like that.

Are you building any Revell 32 Fords?

[Vettegasser]

I can probably come up with a 409. With a cross ram intake. 

[68shortfleet]

PM me an address and I'll get these headed your way.

[Vettegasser]

Let me make sure I have a complete 409. Just got in from work. I’ll chk in a bit 

[Vettegasser]

I’ve found the most of a 409. There won’t be any headers or carbs for sure. I’ll message u later when I get it all together.

I've found a third wheel, this likely being a front.

If you're able to use it, or get it resin cast?

The rears are molded in red, and this front molded in yellow.

Carbs amd headers missing is no big deal.

Found a full set now too. All the same width, back ate different for front/rear though. Chrome has been stripped.

These are not wide like the two chrome wheels which I'm betting is what you are needing.

These same wheels, in a five-lug variant, are in the MPC '78 Corvette as the factory alloy wheels. Four wheels all in the narrow size, of course. Other MPC Vettes of the era also had them.

[Vettegasser]

Yea I’d like to have two bigger ones and two smaller ones.  If you could do that. I’ve found all of an amt 409 from the 62 Bel air. It’s the best 409   Just let me know 

[68shortfleet]

Works for me. PM and address and I'll get them headed your way.
