I’ll try to get some more pics later, but basically I just threw parts at it from my parts box. I usually make notes on my instructions as to what parts/from where/ colors used and mods made. I’ll see if I can dig them out. This kit was built several years ago and..... well my memory just isn’t what it once was lol I know I radiused the rear wheel well openings and did some scratch building for the front suspension and support for fuel tank up front

I ask because I've been planning a similar project for some time, and have even done a small amount of work on it. Haven't decided on an engine yet, though...possibly an early Hemi. I remember a '56 Ford gasser based on the AMT '55 Nomad frame in the old Car Model magazine of the '60s. It's stayed with me all these years.
wrenchr Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 that looks very tough, ready to whomp some butt.

An early hemi (392 or 354 ) would be an awesome engine choice,especially if you throw on a set of resin desoto fire power or imperial valve covers... something along those lines

RichCostello Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Your injector stacks look like aluminum. Do you make them, or are they aftermarket? Your gassers are great!
