Jurva 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.

Jantrix 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Goschke 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." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jurva Posted July 15, 2016 Nice photo you added John. Haven't seen that movie. I'll add picture of those shackles I found later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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