Scottnkat Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 This kit started as a broken used model. It was missing a couple of parts, but was mostly there. For this build, I wanted to take it all apart, but some parts such as the doors were glued in so well that it was not possible. I started by stripping the paint and I cut off the roof. I ripped out the seats front and rear. I had to scratch-build the rear bumper and the rollcage. The seat for it was modified from a '66 Fairlane and I added seat belts. I used some wheels and tires from the parts box. I used copper tubing to reflect the tailpipes that go through the rear taillights. I made the tonneau cover out of tape. The decals were a combination of homemade decals and old Fred Cady decals. I used wire for the hood and trunk tie-downs.
