This is an older build and since it's snowing again I figured I'd post it on here. AMT kit, Tamiya paints, and Slixx decals. Scratch built items were limited to headers, roll cage, fuel pressure sender, motor plate and some misc. small stuff. Fire away if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks, GlenIMG_0117.JPG.7a27ecd35bbccf013da2da06c8823c51.JPGIMG_0118.JPG.4839014c0f8f1fb4e7b552c2d619fa57.JPGIMG_0120.JPG.a44819df3d1b9832e0651bb0317b14a6.JPGIMG_0116.JPG.9290d155fed912886ce21bc8fb0b5ccc.JPGIMG_0125.JPG.e28dae01c926cc7d9e4c16ce0a0c55e8.JPG

LOTS of tedious work there and well executed.  Where is the carb from?  Looks like a wcfb, so I assume this is a replica of a 265 chevy?  Great job.

To Rick, Larry D., Dennis, Barry, Larry C., Joe, Francis, and Ron,

Thanks for taking the time to look it over and respond I very much appreciate it.

Ron: that's a Rochester 4GC, it's an old resin item that I "believe" came from Best Model Car Parts. I was going for a 64/65 327 look. Wish Fireball did one of those!!

Thank again, Glen

Ron, all the gauge faces are Slixx decals (except the factory speedo/tach which is a kit decal). The tach was from a Revell pro stock/mod kit. I sanded the face smooth added the decal and the bezel is a slice of 7/32" alum. tubing. The rest of the gauges are on a small piece of styrene sheet and those bezels are from 5/32" alum. tubing.
