New shoes for a Starliner

Being from Indiana I have a soft spot for Studebakers. I saw this Maisto 1953 Skyliner for under a buck so I quickly snapped it up. No interior at all, but I really like the paint scheme. The wheels had to go. I had a few sets of M2 wheels lying around, so a quick drill out of the rivets, and viola:

1:1 scale version. I adore the space age architecture. As for the quick mod of the kit, need to work out on how to space the front wheels, as they are much more narrow than the originals, and they move left to right far too much.
