This started as a Salvinos Cutlass and the roof from one of their Monte Carlo kits. Will use a AMT chassis. The body side of the Cutlass aren’t quite right so I added some strip to them. Between the strips was filled and block sanded.

All finished
-
Got the chassis done on this. Basically just final details now.
-
Some of the K&K 71 up cars were rebodied earlier chassis. Using reference photos available for them would be pretty safe.

Nice job man. How long did it take you to get a nice stance out of that kit chassis? -
That is a cool place to get lost for a month or 7.

That car is cool man.

Oh yeah I guess that would help. Maynard took this to Daytona in 73. Resin body on an AMT TBird chassis PPP wheels custom decals. That hood decal wasn’t easy. Polished aluminum exhaust and a 427 tunnel port out of a Polar Lights Talledega.

Stunning build! What else can I say? One question why did you brush paint it? Looks excellent I would have ruined that with a brush. -
Story I got is that it was an Oosterland team car. I’m not sure. 48 was Gurneys number . He ran that# in trans am too. You can see where there is adhesive residue left on the car from a 0 that was on it at one point.
