Cool tip! Looks easier to control than using screwdrivers.

Yes, much easier than using 2 screwdrivers on each side and safer...😆

I have a 64 Polara with BF Goodrich T/A tires sitting in my garage. I haven’t built a model car since the 1970’s but I bought a Johan 64 Polara model kit that I want to build to look like my car. I saw a Revell 66 Malibu kit at Hobby Lobby that showed on the box art BF Goodrich T/A’s small fronts and wider backs tires, just like on my Polara, I thought I hit the jackpot, so I bought the kit just for the tires. Opened the box and the tires in the kit were 4 regular narrow stock type tires no raised white lettering. Emailed Revell asking if this was a mistake, and if so could they send me the Goodrich tires pictured on the box, they replied back that there is nothing they can do for me. Ended up returning the kit. The hunt continues.

@@fratzogmopars the search continues for you..I bought this 66 nova in model kit form with these same wheels, but just like you, i haven't built a model kit in years

@@alyoungcuda It’s harder to find parts for these model kits than it is for the real thing it seems. I bought a Mobius 65 Plymouth Satellite kit just for the 64-65 B-body center console, the Johan 64 Polara kit didn’t have one, and bought a Monogram 64 Dodge kit just for the 383, this is getting expensive and then there is the paint, glue, and whatnot.
