mrmike Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 Thank you guys! 18 hours ago, berr13 said: That looks SO much better dropped in the front some. How did you do it? VERY nice model!! I inverted the stock kingpins. Guys, this kit is a mixed bag to me. Everything from the interior seats to the wheels and tires and the wheel openings just seem off to me. The bucket seats seem like they came from an old AMT kit and mount directly to the interior floor. The model sits too high, especially in the back. If you really want this kit, spend some time on it and work slowly and carefully and you will have a nice looking model when you are done with it.

Harpo Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Great job on a timeless classic! I remember how snappy these cars felt with even a stock 289 compared to the 6 cylinder, fond memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutalform Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Turned out very nice. Under hood looks spot on. You really got that ride height nailed down nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
