THANK'S again for all the positive comments on this project, they are greatly appreciated!!!!
Hawk312,
Thank you for your commpliment, in fact your 1/12 builds are nothing short of spectacular, love every one of them.....the silver 1969 Camaro project looks SUPERB!!!
The Minilite wheels where made using the "rims" of the 1/12 scale Cragar wheels that came with the 1/12 1957 Chevy, the spokes and center where made of styrene rod and sheet, I could have made one and cast in resin four copys but at the time didn't have the resin or a local place to buy it. The Modeler who did the 1/12 perfect replica of this Sunoco Camaro, Randy Derr also scrachtbuilt his minilites(much better and accurate than mine) and made copies in resin which I think where sold by Replicas & Miniatures Co. these also could be used in the Tamiya 1/12 multimedia Lotus C. I don't know if they are still available.
A member here at the forum who is building(ALMOST scractbuilding will be more accurate!!) an amazing Datsun "Z" car in 1/12 scale also made his own Minilite wheel, which look great and he is selling them.
