Nothing to see here. I didn't have a fuelie intake and the hood barely opens due to the design of the hinges. It has the dual fours, but the motor is a poor representation of a small block Chevy. All of my cars end up in a large stack of plastic dispay cases and I'm pretty much the only one that ever looks at them. Here's a glimpse of the cars in their cases. I need to make another purchase from Pioneer plastics because I have about 24 diecasts and models collecting dust. A mix of models, diecasts and diecasts I repainted. A mix of Bill Elliott models, diecasts and diecasts I repainted. Finally, many thanks for the great comments. Almost everyone seems to appreciate the efforts and needs on this magazine's forum.

My first completion of 2013 (started a couple months ago) and first build posted on this magazine's forum. It's a 1960 AMT Corvette (MPC 1960 Corvette) and It was almost left in the box when I started final assembly. I like the simplicity of some of the old kits, but the sloppy fit drives me nuts. No wonder when I built these things back in the seventies, they were glue bombs. I was very happy with the paint (first time success with an airbrush), so I soldiered on. The decals are VRM and I can't say enough about the quality and fit of these decals. The model is a representation of the real real racer and not an exact duplicate.

Your choices sound and look great, I'll be following this build. I've had a couple of these kits in my stash for years. One will be Joe Weatherly's #8 NASCAR racer and the other stock. I have a few pictures for reference. I thought I could give you a hint about what the interior looks stock. If you look close, you'll realize the model interior is a convertible. AMT saving money back in the day because these were also used in their promos. The engine is a 427 FE (Ford Edsel) The super charger is a Paxton if I'm not mistaken.
