Early on when this upcoming kit was announced, about 2 1/2 years ago it was reported that this was going to be a new tool with corrected front nose. Good to see it may be showing to the Party soon.
There is a small moon tank that sits in front of the engine across the frame, and some clear vent hoses, from the valve covers. I have clearer picture at home and will try to post it later.
John Teresi's Models always look so cool Great Paint, excellent Custom work. Overall Perfect Craftsmanship, and best of all from the pictures, they all look like they only took a week to build. John You are Amazing Congratulations.
I would recommend the Chassis from the AMT 70 Monte Carlo as well it is separate from the floor pan, and easily modified. AMT/Round 2, is also releasing the 86 El Camino soon which could be a good choice, and the previously mentioned Cutlass.
I can't Imagine why you wouldn't want to do it this way. The pipes would look way better with a downward flow out the back, of course the carbs catching Bugs, and stuff probably wouldn't be good. LOL
