ibj40 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) I wish all diecast manufacturers would do this, however, to date, this is the only mass-produced, affordable Customer White donor available.Here's a link to a separate Flickr album with more detailed shots: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzEAKEAnyway, being retired, I have way too much time on my hands, and fortunately access to resources to allow me to pursue things that creep into my imagination.I have started creating some fantasy versions of this model, primarily based on existing and historic Nascar liveries. Here's what I've done so far.First one I did was a Sta-Power Buddy Baker version. Album here: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmSuyw8FNext one I did was an Alan Kulwicki Hooters version. Album here: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmVStnkqNext, a more contemporary livery, R&L Carriers. Album here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzEbp7And the most recent, a Wendell Scott Howard's Furniture version. Album here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzEGUKNext one will be a Skoal version, based on the Rick Mast Thunderbird livery. Album here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzF5NP This will be the last one until I can break loose with $125 plus shipping for another donor.This is based on Dan Gurney’s 1963 “Motor Trend 500” Winning 427 Ford Galaxie.

baycolony Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Looks good, and I couldn't help but notice that this diecast model got the rake of the front end correct unlike the Revell 1/24 kit. I wish they would correct it or an aftermarket 3d printer or caster would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty simple, you remove two screws that hold the front suspension on, add a couple of fibre washers, and done. Here's a Flickr album on it: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmi2WM4b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
