Jurva Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 This AMT kit started when I found these jewel things, that looked very much leafspring shackles. So this car was deemed to have its rear end lifted way up. That of course meant finding some big rear tyres. They are Fujimis with widened steels rims. Front wheels are some lowrider tyres. Otherwise pretty much "stock" build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I really like the personal touches on this model. It's not stuff most people would do to a model, or even think to, but that's why I like it. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Goschke Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Really well done model! Great representation of the classic "stinkbug stance." Those shackles had to be one of the more ridiculous modification fads of the late '60s-'70s. Cars like this were everywhere, but my favorite example is this '73 Fury featured in a crazy sequence in the movie "Thunderbolt & Lightfoot."

Jurva Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Here is the shackles. They could almost be used as exhaust manifold flanges too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
