ModelcarJR Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I built this MPC kit as Grandma's grocery getter to remove it from my closet. The color is Tamiya Dark Yellow with a Krylon Italian Olive interior. Its powered by a 340 4-barrel from another MPC kit, a 1980 Plymouth Volare, that I added plug wires and heater hoses. I also added a parts box outside mirror and steel wheels and dog dish hubcaps from a 68 Dodge Charger. Thanks for looking! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Great to see it finished, I really like the understated colour and low-spec combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Now that’s what I call a sleeper! Grandma would not be wasting much time getting to the grocery store. Great colour choice. (The only giveaway would be the slightly beefy tires.) You’ve shown that with a little attention to detail this kit can be made to look really good. Especially in regards to the engine and rolling stock. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
