No problem. If you decide to do something with it, ya may want to think about repositioning the distributor also.

Came out really good. You mods make it stand out nice.

What Car Do You Wish To Be A Model That Isn't?

That is the stance I am going for. Looks good

I'll go over and check it out. I know that there was an interior for the kit available. I'll have to check them out. Is it a modified bumper from this kit? Reason I ask is the front bumper in this kit is to square and I am going with the AMT parts. Thanks for the update, I will be doing a lot of test fitting already.

pics not great, but there is a shape difference. Need to reshape the top of the quarter also. After paint it will show better and I hope to have a decent camera then. Drivers side reshaped and the flatness removed.

I had hoped for paint this week, but forgot about the tail light bezels. Working on them now. I will try to get a decent comparison pic
-
Did you raise the wheel well or box it back further? Looks like you opened and boxed back, As long as it works, why not? Kinda how the AMT is and it really does not bother me. You use the dual quad intake to make the tri-power? Looks good

That thing looks killer

Yea, I need to get a camera and not use my phone...... I'll see if I can change the settings or something. Any recommendations for decent camera for these type of pics?
-
Agreed
-
Well, drivers side is modified and glued in a more correct location. let it dry and a little filler and I'll do the other. By left - right comparison, you can see that the car can be lowered now.

Well, been doing some wet sanding and finishing of the body. Should have some paint on it this week. Still up in the air on color. I have mocked up the body/floor and frame. The valance was cut off the floor pan/fender well since it no longer lines up after the changes made. I want to lower the car, so the front wheel wells need corrected now. First was to look at the fender wells here in the garage, and now I see where they are off. The inner fender follows the outer fender opening, it should not it is about 3 to 4 scale inches off. In this pic, the lower black line should be at the bottom of the solid black area. I am not moving it all up, but I will raise the rear area then add styrene up to the solid black area. A little bit of a cheat, but easier. The more I work on this kit, the more I shake my head. So far I am using the AMT 57 front fenders, rear quarters, front valance, front bumper, dashboard. I will say, the grill, frame and engine are nice.

Hey, little hint for you Howard. If you are using the 2 piece kit tires, use super glue and clamp them tight. After sanding the tread area, the seam will be gone. Looking great, I have one on the back burner. Bright yellow and red. Here is how my tires came out. I did not paint them black first either.

Tom, That is looking really nice. I always liked Willow Green. My dads 57 is Willow and Cumberland. As an FYI, that front valance is silver from the factory, Does not have to be, just letting you know. Also, another FYI, I am pretty sure the center section of the rear end is upside down, not that you would ever see it. I love the color, wheels and stance...... Here is a pic of dads also. I hope we finish it soon. I need to get to work on my replica of it.

Yea, I'd like to know the status also

Very nice.... Love these builds
