It was a bear as I had no instructions and no pictures plus the kit had many other parts and all the parts for blown Hemi. So had to figure it all out by downloaded pictures from the net.

Scott Colmer Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 That looks great! I've always wondered about those. Still not ready to step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Looks good ! I gave up on mine. No instructions and only a few crummy photos. I used a lot of the parts to build a Cobra gasser. I did finally build the Fiat with some parts I took off the Cobra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a gross of leftover parts and will likely try to sell on EBAY. Thanks , Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuces Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The one I have from acme is the fuel altered "pure hell" version..... Still haven't started on it yet...

Thanks very much Echo. It was fun to get completed but not as easy a one would think. It was like taking a single kit and throwing in 3 or for other kits parts and then no instructions on what parts belonged to what kit. Here is a little more about it.

The actual kit was fine but with all the extra engine and detail options and no instructions , it was a challenge. Thanks , Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
