This is turning out great I'm really like the way this restore is turning out. I can't wait to see more on this build.

This is just awesome ! To think that back in 77 I would have scoffed at this car, but now I do think they are very cool.

Very nice save, and great job dressing up the engine. I'd like to see how this all came out.

Love the work you've done on the Volare! A few other issues with the kit are that it has no pedals and the interior bucket inside door detail is almost not there. Also, the under hood panel closest to the windshield has no detail. The 1:1 has a vent there. I added one. I understand that someone did photo etch one off for it.



My interior. I did a lot of work on the door panels with Evergreen. The cranks are resin from Norman Veber. The arm rests were carved out of toothpicks. I went for a bench seat. I modified the one from the Revell '66 Chevelle wagon.



Busy engine bay! Main reason for the photo is to show the vent close to the windshield. Kit just has a blank part there. Also, the kit doesn't have the two stiffener bars that run from the firewall to the fenders.

On mine, I made the stiffener bars from strait pins and I made a decal for the vent.

the engine on the photo of the real one, is an in line slant six, the engine in the kit looks like a V-8.
I have a restored 80 Volare, if you like I´ll post some photos of it.
By the way, where can I get a kit of this car?
