BeakDoc Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I can’t put a finger on exactly why, but I enjoyed the heck out of this build. The color combo is Tamiya Cobalt Green and Tamiya Champagne Gold. I chose the colors because by happenstance the cans were sitting side by side on the bench and I thought they lloked good together. After I painted the body I alternated between hating the colors and liking the colors until I actually finished the detail work and final assembly. Once it was complete I full-on loved the look. I ditched the pizza cutters that came in the kit and put some meatier tires on some 5 spoke Cragar-style rims. I decided to go with the old-school pressure pot supercharger on the 390 and used some skirts from the kit to fashion some dual, offset forced air hood scoops. As always, thanks for looking folks.
