'70 Grande Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Really, really like this build... and it has no numbers and large sponsor decals on it, too! Great subject matter and as always from your workbench, outstanding build quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I'm not sure I've ever seen a built one. Truly a unique model and you did a great job on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly a unique model and you did a great job on it. If I could find another one I would do a better one. There is slot more I could have improved now that I look back at it. It’s been painted for about five years and got shoved to the side repeatedly. The front of the fenders and hood scoops are waaaay wrong. I would fix those on the next one.Heres what it should look like. Edited January 14, 2020 by yellowsportwagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
