I'm so glad you like it! Don't feel bad.....I find that exact replicas are hard to build. The pressure to get all the details as accurate as possible can be tough to navigate. Oh man, I would love to see a 51 chevy version! ππ
Yes, that's very cool!π The historical eras of hot rodding, custom car building, drag racing is fascinating to me. It's very satisfying to pull from history and add our own creativity and spin to thingsπ
Thanks! Yeah It's a pretty close match to the original 1:1 car's blue primer. The color is Tamiya Coral Blue (TS-41) with Tamiya Flat Clear on top (TS-80)π
I'm so glad you do! When I first came up with the idea for this build, I did wonder if some folks were going to feel like I might be treading on hallowed ground. The original 1:1 High and Mighty Plymouth is such a significant car in the history of drag racing that maybe it wasn't cool to make an inspired version of it? Well I threw caution to the wind and did it anyway cuz it was just too fun of an idea! π€ͺπ
Thanks! And thanks for following along! π My imagination just fired up once I discovered the 1:1 car and it's significance. It's just such a crazy/cool car π
