Sweet looking W30 so far. Love those wheels, where did you get them from?

Most all the upgrade's to this JoHan kit came from AMT's 69 Hurst 442 kit , including the wheels. Most everything between the two kits has worked out perfect with just a little filling to the chassis . It was a little to tight and was spreading the body at the rear over the wheel openings. The hood , spoiler and air cleaner were bought from ModelHaus.
