Roadrunner

All together, there are four intake manifolds, one four barrel, one six pack, two four barrels and a two four barrel cross ram. Two complete exhaust systems and manifolds are included as well as at least one alternate differential. The six pack manifold actually has the name "Edelbrock" molded on, a real nice touch, I think.

I'm particularly impressed with the redundant parts that are included in the kit; two complete engines and transmissions as an example.

There's some debate on another thread re: the horn looking pieces. On my particular kit, there are indeed two of these, and they are numbered 99, and are called out on instructions as Horn, appearing to be conventional horns, though obviously only one gets installed. The "wiper motor" (part #18) does indeed look more like the "Beep Beep" horn than a wiper motor, but instructions refer to it as a wiper motor nonetheless.

Rear end now installed. I realized once I saw this photo , that I've forgotten to add the rear shocks, so I'll go do that in a little while. I want to have the exhaust tips showing, so I've put in the muffler/tailpipe assemblies, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

OK, engine bay assembled (at least as far as I intend to take it). With no engine, it seems rather pointless to do much here.

Agreed. I'm really hoping that mine comes as nice as this one, once I get back on it.

Nice job so far, especially considering the problems with your hands. I'll look forward to some paint, whenever you are able to get back to it.

I've never done one, and probably never will, but if I did, I'd follow a similar approach to what Jairus said.

I like it. Such a cool series too.

Well I like it.

Raoul, I just checked my kit ('69, red car on box), and the amber lights are in the rear bumper, and grille (plus insert for rear of car), both clearly say GTX, so they would appear to be correct.

OK, thanks. I hadn't realized Revell ever did a '71.

Frame mostly assembled now, just a few more pieces to add, then I can shoot paint. I'm actually beginning to look forward to finishing this project so that I can start my Halloween car.

Interesting project. I'll look forward to seeing more.

I really like that color. I'll have to figure out what car to use some of it on.

Interesting. What kit are you using as a basis? It's a '71?

Reminds me of a horseshoe crab.

Yep, darn shame. I love their music, always will.

No need, really. I'll just airbrush the black straight over it. (The tube oil is actually much thinner than it may appear.)

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I used to watch that show regularly.

Oh yes, guilty. Unlike all of my military stuff, I tend to start a car model with no research, and no real idea where I'm headed. Not very clever of me, but I'm slowly beginning to change that approach.

They can tend to, yes. I've finally been able to secure two Fokker D.VII's (one OAW and one Alb.), but I was very fortunate to find really good deals on them.

Nice looking job from what I can see. I do find the background to be very distracting though. Are you aware that WNW will be releasing a brand new 1:32 scale kit of the Camel this year?

I hope it works out for you. I'm 62, never been married, and it looks like never will, so I envy you for finding somebody that you can be happy with.
