1949 Talbot-Lago grand prix racecar

I picked this up on E-Bay a few years ago and have always wanted to build it but was disappointed with the kit wheels.  Finally this week I busted out the bow O' wheels and tried some stuff out.  I ended up finding that the spokes from the Lindburg 34 Ford kit fit the stock tires from the Smer kit.  The kit gives you wheel and tire halves and a clear plastic disk for the spokes.  I left the wheel tire thing as is and added the 34 spokes and knock offs from a 64 Impala lowrider.  Finding this combo gives me what I needed to build this kit.  It is a simplified kit but I think it will be very nice when done.  Here is the wheels and a quick mock up for those that have never seen this racer.
