ramblerman Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Revell 1970's issue molded in green metallic styrene. I chopped the top and filled the grille opening. I also glued the hood to the fenders then cut the fenders from the body. I intended to make a tilt front end, but decided to leave it as a removable one piece panel. Refinished with Testors Competiton Orange with Pledge Revive clearcoat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Nice job on the Gasser Jim. That Competition Orange is my favorite color. Has a nice stance and the chop turned out great. Nice looking model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was, and the chopped body still sits, in primer, in my display case of partially finished projects next to my work desk. Still would like to finish it someday. Jim's project is to a large degree what I've had in my mind for so many years now....TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papajohn97 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 The body mods, that injected SBC, the colors, the decals, the wheels, the stance, it all just “clicks”. Nice!!!! Your build inspires me to take another crack at this kit which I remember struggling with as a kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was still in diapers when the article came out! 😮) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
