Changing wheels on franlin/danbury mint diecasts
Is it possible and where can one find wheels to fit as I have a 60 falcon and a couple pick ups that I would like to put big and littles with torque thrusts or any 5 spoke mags. Jeff

Re: Changing wheels on franlin/danbury mint diecasts
I think I might start taking apart the cheap department store diecasts before I get to the danbury but I want to put mags on the danburys,I wish they would send me a completely dissassembled model when I order one so I could modify it but I know they wont. Jeff

Re: Changing wheels on franlin/danbury mint diecasts
pretty much what we are asking of are pics. especially of the chassis so we can locate the screws. on most model cars the screws would either be on the edge of the whole undercarriage or in the middle. sometimes mostly on higher end cars they stick the screws under the wheels so you can't reach them. but yeah just show some pics.

Re: Changing wheels on franlin/danbury mint diecasts
Junk: FM released a '57 Bel Aire as a kit one time. You could build it as either a hard top or convertible.
Doing cheaper diecasts might not help that much since most manufacturers assemble things differently. Don't be afraid to dig into it. Ok..so if you break something you can hold be responsible ok? hehe
