A while back I posted this quickie project whereas I replaced those oh-so-puny Sunstar wheelcovers with proper-sized ones pirated from Welly's 1963 Impala SS. The five new proper-sized whitewall tires were lifted from Revell's 1965 Mustang. I think you'll agree, even if you're not a fan of this replica, that it does look better. Why not take a second look? 🤔

Thanks Tony, Steve.... But I goofed. I was just informed by another collector that my spare should actually be a 4-lug rim, not a 5-lug. Since I cast my own rims it's a relatively easy fix.... I just need to do it - but I'm so lazy! 😮 😲 😖

Nova 14 and Nova 8 are my favorite shots here.

Who took the picture of you changing the tire on the Impala?
