lowriderphil Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I've been wanting to build a replica of my first ride, 84 buick regal limited. had two hydraulic pumps, 4 batteries, and a set of these car also had a t-type hood and spoiler, not my doing, I bought the car like that. I plan on building down to the faded two tone grey and brown paint and brown interior. I will have to figure out what to about the bench seat though.

38 Crush Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 How about the 70 GSX Buick by Revell The exact wheels come in the kit. I think the kit is still widely available 38 Crush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 These what you're looking for? The front of the wheels are the same design but the backs are different. Wheel #1 is solid while #2 has the slots open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowriderphil Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 they look dead on. If they will slip in a set of 5.20s I'm ready to rock. I'm using the revell donk. I think I'll be pulling the engine from a 78 elco kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I don't know what a set of 5.20s means. I guess tires. Please be more specific and I'll look in my box of tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, their made by pegasus for thier wire wheels. Their designed to look like the old premium sportway 5.20 series the lowriders used to roll on in the 70s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 So I guess you're looking for skinny (thin) old style tires. I'll check my tire box and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
