Just completed both of these cars:

1963 Ford Falcon Sprint as driven by Jim Taylor in 2 Trans-Am races in the 1966 Season:

1966 Plymouth Barracuda as driven by Scott Harvey in the 1966 Trans-Am Series:

Both cars utilize a trimmed Scalextric 1969/1970 Mustang chassis:

As these cars were narrow in real life and ran on skinny tires - so do these. I've used Slot Car Corner's awesome 15x7 Aluminum rims with their steel wheel inserts and Ninco Classic Tires. This works perfectly!

Hi there David...

Both cars look excellent, great job..

Working on the shells you sent me at the moment, they are coming on great.
I will post some photos when completed.

All the best.. Martin.

Very impressive!

When a car has black wheel inserts like your Falcon I usually paint the aluminium wheel black too, to avoid seeing the silver part close to the tyre. Those narrow wheels and tyres look perfect for the cars

Super stuff David, they both look great.

These two are just crying out to be fitted with a Penelope Pitlane Competition chassis and a hot NSR Motor!
Cheers
Phil

Thanks gents! As for the wheels, Choc you are totally correct...but for some silly reason I like the way it looked. I will probably paint them.
