avidinha Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 This is a really odd kit. It's motorized, so it has a really shallow interior and it has a one piece body. It didn't come with a rear bumper, so I left the front one off. It also didn't come with any quarter windows, so I had to make some. It came with right and left drive dashboards, 3 steering wheel options, 4 headlight options, 2 mirror options, 2 sets of fog lights and a bunch of other stuff. All in all it was a fun little kit that looks cool on my shelf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I've been diggin' vintage Japanese cars lately, I just wish there were more stock versions of American models. Not many that I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 A fellow I worked for in the 1990;s had one of these in his shop. Sat in a corner, collecting dust, It was a Long Term Project Car, that did not get any work done on it, the whole 18 months I worked there. It was an Ex-Works Racer that had come to California some time in the late 1970's. It had a Full Race 2 Rotor Motor in it with 4 Mikuni Carbs. (or so I was told.) It had even wider fender flares than the kit, although they were beat up and cracked when I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I love about this hobby is hearing everyone's cool car stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Great to see an obscure kit like this built-up, nice job! Many of these older Japanese kits are quite toy-like, best just to go with it and have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
