Nice

?

cool

Very nice. Looks like the one I did. It's a favorite kit of mine.

My 69 GTX was one of my better kits 1 (76) by Eric Lucas, on Flickr Use tape for the stripes.

Thanks

Oh, yeah, building the front frame. Which doesn't fit right because it's thin arms connecting to other thing arms and they warp over time.

Picked up the kit because I wanted another exotic car to add to the collection. I thought the car looked beautiful and finally found a kit at a good price. That's all I've got good to say. The kit itself is garbage. The fit is awful, the directions vary from vague to just wrong, the prongs to fit in the holes are for ants, and no thought was put into how it was to be built. It was a frustrating build that made me want to quit. The clear plastic is messed up because it said to install the windshield from the inside, but it doesn't fit that way........doesn't quite fit from the outside either, but it does fit better than the inside. The muffler hangs down vertically. The exhaust that connects to the other muffler, I had no idea how it was supposed to be installed. It didn't fit any way I tried to place it. The front tire look like a low rider, but they're installed right. The windows have poor fit. One was a tight fit and the other was too small. One door fits perfect and the other sticks out a bit. It is frustrating, but I guess it looks ok. SAM_1394 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_1395 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_1396 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_1397 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr

Nice

Beautiful ?

Looks great. I didn't run into those problems with mine though.

beautiful

Looks good. Made mine the same way.

Looks great! I wish they would add that option to the kits.

Looks great. I forgot that kit even existed.

A quick thought I had about that; is maybe they used the old Z/28 kit for the body/ chassis molds. That kit was built for a different engine. So it would make sense the fit would be off. I know I run into the same problem with any Revell kit that has a shaker hood. They never fit right. I end up having to glue the hood shut. It does seem like they would test fit the kits though. It could be like the Supernatural Impala and have a note in the instructions to file down the hood latch for hood fit. Sure the engine bay will look weird, but the hood will fit. Seems like a lot of companies don't think the kits all the way through. Be it flaws in the molding, missing parts, or weird decals.

looks great

Looks great in yellow. Nice job. Only problem I had with my build, like you said, was the engine height effecting the hood. Everything else went together fine.

Nice! Wouldn't mind one in my collection.

nice

Looks great. I got held up for work last Wednesday by a model T doing 40mph on the main road to the beach. It's a 20+ mile 2 lane road with the only way around being a few miles out the way. Sucked, but I did get to see a nice, freshly restored model T.

same

Yeah, but it was only for two gauges and not all of them. I kinda get the flowers, but not on a Coronet. Mustang, maybe

I believe it. I used to see a ton of them around here when I was in HS and college, but they all got bought up and put in garages. Now I only see them at car shows. It's rare to see them on the road anymore. I did see a 71/72 car like my old one the other day.

Good conversion work
