shoopdog Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Definitely don't see any of these for sure, very nice build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Pretty cool! I didn't even know there was a kit of this. In the mid '70s, one of my best friends drove one of these, in a sort of bright apple green. He absolutely loved the thing. Nice job and model on!

espo Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Interesting subject that I don't remember ever seeing before. The fit and finish looks perfect and your build looks super clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donb Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Very cool build of a classic car. Had a ‘72 myself. Fun car to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Sharp build. Really like the dash detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTallDad Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Your dashboard detail knocked my socks off! You must have very steady hands and drink only de-caf coffee...at 75 years old, I could never do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Cool. Nice work. First car I ever race-prepped, for a sedan class in SCCA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I built (red and white car on the box) had all the stock pieces in addition to the racing parts. The only things missing were the street tires; only slicks were provided. I built mine as a street version with slicks. I probably could have found some suitable street tires in my parts box, but, you know.... It was a fun kit to build.

This one had some stock parts, but no stock wheels, tires, or seats, no back seat either, and the chrome parts are not chrome in this version.

SSNJim Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Interesting that there would be that much difference in what I would assume to be identical kits, Mine had all that except the tires and possibly wheels, There were optional wheels, one set of which I assumed to be stock.

shaunmza Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I love these cars, this is definitely on my wish list of kit's to buy and build. Yours turned out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Thanks. Yeah, the only stock parts missing were wheels tires seats and steering wheel. And left hand drive dash. It has the wipers for both dash setups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
