Fifer Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I finally finished this kit and has been nearly 40 years since I built it the first time and the kit is no easier today that back then. The fit of most parts is very bad and takes a lot of fitting and guesswork but in the end it is a pretty good looking model of a classic show car.

Eric Macleod Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 This has always been my all time favorite streetrod. You have done a very fine job, particularly considering how difficult this one is to assemble. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
