Interesting blend of the C2 onto the C3 Shark. I like it so far, however, my only suggestion would be to remove the wing window post, it will look and flow with the C3 Shark body lines better, in my opinion.

again, stunning craftsmanship

excellent talent. very impressed

Excellent build. I have this kit and one day will try to make mine come out as nice as yours. 1998 was my first attended Indy race, I recall the parade of these through downtown Indy the day before the race. I have the collectors jacket for this car too. Thanks for posting this, good memory you brought back through your build

Wow! Very nice build, enjoy seeing it

Thanks Cary. I just so happen to be a huge Cougar fan. Not a fan of the 73's larger front bumper, so I would modify it and paint it to body color, in my opinion. If you look at my profile pic, it's actually my Radical Custom 72 Cougar showcar. No longer own it, built in 1983. This was also chopped 4" If you look close I removed the front bumper and built a custom air-dam style front end, as you can see I took that cue in my Torino build. Be kind, remember I built this in 1983 when this style was cool. Look for a future build of this later this year.

Nice custom work. I'm impressed and it's looking wild. I'll be following this all the way through.

Real nice! Looks fantastic

Just finished the 4th of the Sweet 16 - 1967 T-Bird Just like the little cars, all chrome engine compartment

Well done, excellent build

Thanks all for the nice comments on my Torino build. It was a fun build that didn't give me any problems, so that's a good build in my book

Yes, those larger hoses are a resto-mod upgrade! Better heat flow to the vents... ha!!! I just knew someone would note that, yes, I'm aware, I ran out of what I use for 1/25 hose and used my only option to finish this build. I will be replacing when I get the correct gauge hose

That's real nice, great looking builds

Really nice build. Super clean

Most excellent, well done build. Looks fantastic! Nice mods, really make this one pop

My idea of what a new Striped Tomato might look like if the Starsky and Hutch cop TV show was to come back today. Of course started with the Revell kit, which I will say is an excellent kit, very detailed, little flash, really none, and fitment was excellent throughout the build. I of course made several mods to this build, first was tucking and narrowing the huge front and rear stock bumpers. Added a air-dam effect to the front with plastic and putty. added the Eliminator hood scoop to keep Starsky from sliding across the hood, which of course drove Hutch crazy, you're welcome Hutch... Gave the boys new RECARO seats instead of the cozy bench seat, again you're both welcome... I think... Ha... Did minor engine detail, wires and hoses and basic chassis. Added some different exhaust tips to exit the corners. Stayed with the overall theme but I honestly never liked the look of the huge stripe, it never seemed to fit the lines of the car to me, so redesigned and painted my own. Decided to keep the chrome look, but shaved door handles. Paint is Duplicolor Electric Current Metallic Pearl Red with Tamiya Pearl White for the stripe and lot's of Testors Wet Look Clear cut and polished several times. Updated the wheels to a newer version "5-slot" style, and custom deep-dished the rears for a staggered resto-mod look, and gave them huge disc brakes. Had a lot of fun building this one, thanks for looking

Thanks all for following and comments of this fun build. I finally finished it and will post more completed pictures in Under Glass section later.

well done! excellent build

Most excellent build. Very creative design elements blending the Indy car with the hotrod
