So it looks like Revell just took a stock GN and made no suspension modifications to accept these abhorrent tires/rims. What Revell should have done (but I'm sure that tooling would not prohibit this) is make a flat hood, throw in a 231-2bbl under the hood and give it a bench seat interior. Call it a Regal and be done with it.

Don't drag down the revered and respected name of the GN in this stupid trend.
