well, this car is what started the hobby car modeling for me!! i saw this kit and it was my first model that i started 3 years ago!! i never finished it for some reason so a few months ago i pulled it out and decided to finish her up!! i original wasn't going to go very detailed on it and i was going to add to dominator carbs and some resin valve covers, and what do you know, the next thing i was doing was pulling out the aluminum pulleys making a remote fuel pump adding a photo etch tach and racing harnesses!! the body has been totally shaved!! the drip rails, body lines, door handles, wheel opening mldgs, all badges and i added a resin cowl hood!! the suspension has been lowered as far as i can go without truly hacking it up, i built the alternator and scratch built the alternator bracket!!! i also ran the N.O.S. lines straight into the lower intake runners!! i wired the alternator as well as the MSD box to!!! and this car is painted totally with spray cans!! modelmaster 2 part laquer system the base is bright aqua pearl, and the 2 part spray can ultra clear!! well, let me know what you all think???          |
