[transam6870]

Nope wasn`t the Willys coupe,plus it wasn`t testors anyway,it was EAGLE??? Will keep an eye open for them though!

I have a Shelby Cobra Daytona diecast with Halibrand wheels with the spinner/knock-off - not sure that this is the same wheel you need. All chrome...detail is OK. Let me know if this is what you are looking for.

I know I have a Scarab (think Augie Pabst) diecast as well and I thought that had Halibrands too - I'll keep looking and get back to you.

Best regards!

P.S. I have a really nice MG Midget diecast if you ever decide you need to mold one of these <wink> :D

cool, would love a copy of the scarab and the midget. can you send me a couple pics of them? I have a 66 mgb and mgb gt

I will continue to search for it - I'm pretty sure its got the right wheels. I sent it to someone here a few years back and he molded a few bodies from it. I found the molded bodies so it MUST be here somewhere!

Pics to follow on the MG and hopefully the Scarab. Naturally, the Midget is tiny...but it would make a really cool saloon/club racer if you could mold it!

Regards...

I seem to remember the old PYRO 34 Ford Gasser kit having similar wheels . Actually the kit was sold as 1/32nd but is closer to 1/43rd scale . I think I have one somewhere in my archives . Let me take a look but it will take a few days .

Here is the photo of the MG and resin Scarab. Unfortunately, I cannot find the Scarab diecast. I am at a loss as to what happened to it, although I will keep looking.

The SCX Porsche in the photo was an attempt to provide a sense of scale to the Midget - it's rather tiny!

PM me your address if you would like to copy these:
