Hi everyone. This is the full detail kit from AMT. It started on the mock up thread and went from there. The 6 cylinder was swapped out for a ZR-1 engine. The cone filter is from an SRT dodge pickup. The engine compartment had to be modified for it to fit. A fellow member suggested smoothing the firewall. It still wasn't enough room. I ended up removing it and adding a recessed firewall from a 32 duece kit. The brake cylinder is also from the corvette kit. The radiator support was modified and a spare radiator was used. As I'm sure you know, there isn't much detail in the interior. Chrome trim, door cranks, a shifter, new pedals and a steering wheel were added to dress it up. Wheels and tires came from the Copperhead concept truck, brakes from the parts box. Paint is testors diamond dust and graphite dust over Mr color 1000 light Grey primer. I left the chassis as is. It was a fun build and think it looks pretty good. Comments/critiques are welcome. Thanks for looking.

That looks nice.

Wow, that paint really pops. I like this one a lot.

Very cool. The paint looks very nice. I'll have to try that combo. Any thing to look out for when applying the clear red? Nice job.

Oh wow, that's cool. Ready to rub fenders.

Nicely done. Never would have thought to use nail decals, great idea. Love the body color too, not to mention the interior detail. Very nice.

Good looking model. The color suits well. Very nice.

Nice ride. The interior and wheel detail is great.

I see A lot of sports cars and other iconic marques. I'll be more humble. A '70's era Opel Manta. I always thought they were good looking cars.

In the boroughs of NYC water in the streets deter no one.... and they move at speed. The saying is turn around don't drown, to no avail.

If I had some money, know just what I'd do, go downtown and buy a Mercury or two. ' cause I'm crazy bout a Mercury. Nice looking Merc, (Dig the song too.)

And off we go, adventure awaits!

I know it's frustrating, but keep at it. You'll be happy once it's done. For what it's worth, here's how I did my two tone few years back. I tried a different spin on the roof as well. Not the best pick, but you get the idea.

Oh boy! This'll be fun.

Very nice. The two tone is very well thought out and compliments the body lines. Nice, clean build.

Man.....That's pretty. Beautiful color choice and engine detail.

Sweet little ride. I like this. Tamiya?

This is really cool. A window into the past.

Nice piece of muscle. Wonderful color choice.

There not worth anything, please send them to. I'll even pay shipping costs. Seriously, nice find but I have no idea of their value. Gotta be a bunch though.

Wow, that's really nice. Yellow looks good on it.

Wow, wonderful attention to detail. I built this kit a while ago, it looks nothing like yours. Very nice.

That's really cool. What a great idea and execution. Never would have thought of it.
