Scale-Master Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 This is a model of my first car as it looked when I finished it, about 1982-83. I used an old AMT funny car body as the base. It needed a good amount of modification. I fabricated the tires and modified the Mini-lite five lug 15 inch wheels into 13 inch 4 lug Super-Lites. I made all the decals and the details that were unique to my car. The chassis is scratch-built too.

Scale-Master Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Thanks again guys!The kit had no provision for wipers, (the cowl was missing a chunk too).Fortunately the wipers for the '68 Camaro I was building along side this were easily modified to fit the Vega, and the real Camaro had caps on the wiper posts so were not needed for that model.
