• The mini-est car in Mt collection *PIC*
  • My collection *NM*
  • This was my first car until another driver fell asleep and ran a red light at a blind intersection I had just entered.
    • Neat little model. Where did you get the GT lettering? *NM*
      • It's a decal from MoFoBow. It had the black hood and hatch stripes, rocker moldings and both styles of Vega emblems plus the GT emblems. I have a set of Cosworth decals as well if I can get to it someday. *NM*
  • Wowee! If I've seen that, I forgot about it. Sweet build! I taught myself to drive a stick in that car. I don't know if you ever knew that. You left it home one day and I ground gears all the way to Robo car wash to apply for a job. Good times! *NM*
  • Re: The mini-est car in Mt collection.. WOW! Looks great *NM*
  • Real nice! *NM*
  • That is really well done! Looks like a mini Z28
    • No Cosworth Vega kit. I'm not sure if it was done as a diecast, particularly in 1/18th scale
      • No, there is no kit but I'll probably use some mashup cobbled up wheels or 3D printed or something. Tom is working on one, but I'll leave the posting to him. *NM*
      • Your idea sound like a cool and feasible idea. I like it! *NM*
      • Canuck 3D does the Cosworth Vega engine and wheels as well as the standard 4 spoke Vega/Monza wheels , all in 1/25. *NM*
        • And excellent quality. I have down in the stash with the MPC kit. Ray's decals to finish it off *NM*
  • Where did the 4 lugs GT style wheels come from? *NM*
    • Vaguely recall they look like the wheels from a Revell BRE Datsun 240Z *PIC*
      • That seems correct to me. I probably have those wheels somewhere. In 1:1 are they 4-spoke American 200S wheels, or did Datsun make them? *NM*
        • They look like they're American Racing " Libre" wheels. They look correct for the 1/1 BRE 510. , , The BRE 240Z kit looks like it has the "LeMans" wheels in it which would be closer to the Vega/Monza 4 spokes. *NM* *PIC*
          • ,,. But, yea, a "Libre" is basically a 4 spoke 200. *NM*
            • The wheels on the Vega are likely from the 510 sedan kit. I have a set that are probably from the Z that are two different widths (never had the kit, just found the wheels by themselves) *NM*
    • They are indeed from the BRE Datsun with center caps cut from '72 C/10 pickup wheel covers. I don't specifically recall where the trim rings are from. kit *NM*
