DoctorLarry Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Are you using the stock JoHan chassis or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be modifying the exhaust system. I re drilled the axle holes and hacked a bunch out to clear the tires underneath. It’s no contest winner under there for sure.

If you want a good chassis to start from, use the chassis from the AMT 69 442/Hurst Olds. It fits well and is light years from the old Johan snap kit. Plus, if you start from the Hurst, you'll already have the 455 engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Looks great Tim, I like doing a nice curbside from time to time. A full tilt detailed model sometimes is just too much. I never display models, diecast or otherwise with any panels open anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowsportwagon Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 I’m debating on slotting the bumper for exhaust tips. Have to see how gutsy I am. Got some more foil work done. Moving along slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here Tim....I love the curbside ones just as much as the full detailed kits...they all can be built into great looking models...just look at this one. Our old 73 was the same as the one your building sure brings back good memories for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 That is nice Tim. I like the second wheels better, even though I cringed when I was reading you changed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the Olds wheels and said”Now that is exactly the look I’m after .” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
