Reeves Racing Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I really like your posts JC. I have learned a lot from reading and looking at your posts. The pictures are super high quality and you do a good job of showing step by step progress without 9 pictures of the same thing.Thanks so much.Great work here on this build as usual.

No the headers on the 427 are from the Monogram kit, just had to adjust them a bit to fit the Revell 1/25 scale block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Finally tracked down a copy of the SAAC Registry for a reasonable price. Haven't received the book yet but I have wanted this book for a long time. Would like to have the newest edition but it is painfully expensive. This should help with the details.

The book arrived and it confirms some details I had discovered about the car which I will try to incorporate into the build. Thanks for the comments Mark, glad you like the build.
