SamBred Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Finally able to get this car unboxed and on the bench. I'm ready to start building. Beginner status. This car is my second build ever, first of this year. Plans for this car is do a simple, neat box build. Maybe as a little paint detail, maybe order some plug wires and battery wires. Gonna take it slow. I work a lot so I know it will go slow but I'll keep you all posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Nice choice. The Revell '67 is one of the best kits ever. Be advised though, you cannot achieve the ride height shown in the cover art, using the kit parts. It is stock ride height with fancy wheels.

SamBred Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Thanks, yeah it's got a picture on back of box of what it is gonna look like. I probably will do my own colors and stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 that's a nice kit that builds up well. only tricky part for me was dash detail and trying to BMF the trim on top of the fenders/doors/quarter panels. other than that, fun build.

Roadrunner Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I have to ask; can this kit be built stock? If so, I'll need to add it to my growing "wants" list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is only your second build I've got to say you're makin' me nervous showing the body on the paint stand already – don't paint that thing before you do some prep and plenty of test-fitting.

I, like others found the dash to be tricky but not impossible. This kit is prefect for the addition of plug and bat wires, add a lot to this already awesome kit.Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
