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  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCostello Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Your injector stacks look like aluminum. Do you make them, or are they aftermarket? Your gassers are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
