gasser59 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) I did this build 25 years or so ago and recently pulled it out of storage and decided to repair and update it. Its now finished and the upgrade included new paint, taillights, new air cleaners and an updated license plate. The original 25 year old build has a brass frame, removable dipstick, working rear suspension and functional U joints. I couldn't help myself on the personalized plate.

rmvw guy Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It has that vintage look. Nice touch with the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 For a 25 year old model, that still looks amazing, and I have to tell you, very competitive too. Lots of great parts and the result is a cool looking model. Thanks for sharing it with us. Hope the next one doesn't have to take 25 years. LOL.

JunkPile Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 What scale is this? Big T? Way cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser59 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Thx guys. I built this so many years ago and it was finished. I entered into a local IPMS contest in 1984 and took Best of Show over planes, armour and other cars. I'm still amazed. I just decided to repair it after being stored and moved around for all these years. This is a 1/25th scale build.

Chuck Most Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 With a Hemi it would sure be a handful, but blow it up to 1:1 and I'd be pleased to have it in my garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf15 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 With a Hemi it would sure be a handful, but blow it up to 1:1 and I'd be pleased to have it in my garage. No way ! You'd find a way to get rust on it or cause it to weather or rot in some shape or form ! Lol ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser59 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys. This would be a fun ride but I'd need a seat belt and a roll bar to burn some serious rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Zombie Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 This is 1/25th scale. I salute you sir. At 1/8 it would be amazing, at 1/25 this is a blast. Fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
