This one was sort of a nightmare to put together. A lot of the parts didnt fit right....lol. I painted it copper basecoat with transparent candy apple red over it. The interior is flat interior tan with a light yellow trim, and beige flocking. All of the interior chrome is BMF'd. A lot of photo-etch, billet, aluminum, wired, throttle hooked up to the firewall, oil dipstick, a lot to list, there is more....lol. The whitewalls are from the 64 chevy pickup, and the wheels are from the 66 nova street machine, not the prostreet version. I hope you like it.        Thank you for looking. Virgil |

Thank you very much for the kind comments. The main troubles i had, was the frame, interior tub, and body not fitting right together. The vent window glass is too long. So what i done, was eyed it, marked where the glass met up with the interior bucket, and notched it out on both sidces, so the tub goes all the way into the body. The front suspension can be a problem. Do a lot of test fitting.....lol.
Thanks again.

Thank you for the great comments everyone. Once you get past the troubles, it is a fun kit to build. It has tons of possibilities. Dont be afraid to build it, just do a lot of test fitting everything together, and it will come together just fine. The results are here in the pics. Thanks again.
