PIC - Ahhhh! One-of-One!
All I need are the Ford wheels and it will 100% match my classic Mustang. That's probably going to be difficult to find in 1:12 scale.

Beautiful model of a beautiful 1/1. Do you still have your Vette?

Bob, he traded it in for a Chrysler Pacifica; minivans are easier to access..

I'm thinking you'll need to make one rim (or farm it out) then, from that mold, cast several more.

I don't believe these 'Stang mags (styled steel wheels) are available in 1/12 scale.

Yeah, after I "traded" it for the Pacifica minivan Chris mentioned, the owner...
... of the minivan missed it so much he wanted it back. So, I'm stuck with the 'Vette for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, I'm afraid you're right on that. I might be able to have them 3D printed...
... and then sent to Chrometech USA for chrome plating. That might be the best and only option.

Marlowe, It must be tough having to live with that Vette. Seriously as the years have unfolded it is more difficult for me to get into and out of my 61 Vette and for pure comfort I find myself choosing our SUV more and more frequently. Thanks for the update.

Is it Ertl or Danbury????
Danbury released one in white and proposed a red version, but it was cancelled--judging by the retractable top could it be a DM prototype?

Yes, you're right about that!
