BIGTRUCK Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) Pretty straight forward, I wish I didnt put an engine in, curbside is the way to go unless you do a flip up body. I do like builds with drivers tho'. Only thing I did different was run exhaust out the body and add 2 more fins plus the driver. Chassis is Revell 57 Ford, engine is AMT 409. Chrome front and rear are Molotow chrome. Color is Tamiya racing white Edited September 18, 2022 by BIGTRUCK 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty simple build , no interior but I made a cradle to hold the driver in, cant see the motor so I quit spending time on it, I made a 2 pc. skid plate but really no reason to put back half on. The chassis fit fine the way it was, I lowered the stance by installing chassis stops (mounts) higher. Paint and decals and a few extra parts. This body needed multiple cleanings,it looked and felt slick. I could not get paint to stick even after bleach, SuperClean or SimpleGreen. Finally hit it with a wet 320 grit then another bleach wash to knock down that mold release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have been Monogram decals, maybe 39 Chevy or one of the Fords, not really sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
