Wow. I need me some of those bead locks. Would those look right on Off Road wheels?

Those wheels are some of my favorites, the beretta is a cool kit too although I used it as a donor. I really should get more pro street type kits, lol.

I've seen the GMP brand for tire/wheel sets and they look pretty good. This one will look amazing once you're finish with it.

Thanks Ice, I've never seen the tire wheel sets I'll have to look for them. I'm always on the lookout for these kits and this one is a Holy Grail for me I've been looking for this one a long time. I hope to do the best I can on it. |

Just got these in. I have an engine Holy Grail coming in and I was going to wait and take that picture with these but being a big kid [and always will be] I couldn't wait. I got another J2000 from a model dealer friend in Minn. I wasn't going to get another one but he let me have it for $25.00 shipping and all so I couldn't pass it up. He also sent the wax as a Christmas bonus. He belongs to a big modeling club so I guess it is good stuff. I have not used a wax before.   Tom got tired of hearing me whine about getting a Wagon Rod so he hooked me up with this and sent the fine sanding pads as a Xmas bonus. Christmas is good this year. Many thanks Tom.  The BBS LM wheels are chrome not gold. That's just box art.  |

This is a Holy Grail kit for engine kit builders. It's 1/10 scale. There is a model of dear sweet little "Cha Cha" in the kit also. I have only seen one of these before this one. I watched it for several days just to see what it would go for and the bidding didn't go as high as I expected it to but it was still high. I bid on it in the last ten seconds of the auction just for fun and won it at a lot lower price than I thought it would go. Had a lot of automatic bidders and high star bidders on it. Anyway I'm glad to get it. It's going under the tree as a Christmas present from my wife.  |
