1:18 scale customized G-machine collection!!

Below are Miasto 1:18 scale models with engine and wheels swaps turning them into G-machine corner carvers. The '68 Camaro and '71 Chevelle have both had an LS6 Corvette engines installed, and wheels swapped to Z06 Corvette wheels. The '55 Nomad has an LS2 Corvette engine and C6 Corvette wheels. The '65 Corvette has had Corvette Grand Sport wheels swapped to it. And lastly, is a Ford Torino Talledega with custom modified stock wheels inset into deep dish wheel rings and wide low profile tires. These wheels were a one off custom merger of the stock wheels for this car and a set of wheels form a Miasto Ford GT90. Check them out and enjoy.

Oh, here's a small joke to all you Ford people out there, sincerely from your Camaroman...lol. What's the one thing Ford has done perfectly and consistently right over the years????

THEY'VE ALWAYS CIRCLED THE PROBLEM!!.....LOL. (REFER TO YOUR FORD EMBLEM)

Good joke! I concur! Wink

The Chevelle looks great with the Z06 wheels. I would've never thought to try that!

RE: 1:18 scale customized G-machine collection!!

This kind of attention really can make even a cheapie diecast Pop!

I have a couple of sets of those GMP wheels, and a couple of cars I want to install them on, but am unsure how to 'dismount' the original rims from the host car.

Is it better to use finesse or a big pry bar?

Could you or someone post an instruction on that?

I just don't want to BREAK something!
