It doesn't matter if you get two interested parties or 500. If you want to built it, start the CBP. It's not my cup of tea, but I will cheer you on enthusiastically.

Welcome. Lots of great folks here. Looking forward to seeing your work.

I have seen good things done with molded headlights tail lights. BMF and testors metallic red will work for the rear. And for the front, I've seen a mix of acrylic white and Future do well on headlights after several coats.

I was sort of thinking about this but a later version with the 426. I've heard decals are available for it.

Good info and ideas. Thanks guys.

There are many guys here that do build there own racing tube frames. However there are several Chevy based pro stock kits that might be easily converted to the Vega.

I'm planning a Allison V12 based build and the kit is rather short on realism and I'd like to bump up the detail and accuracy. Does anyone have any sources of data on these? Specifically plumbing and wiring? Carb linkages? All the usual details we'd add. Most of my research shows pictures of engines removed from the vehicle. Any help would be appreciated.

Great styling and execution! I'll be following this with great interest.

Very nice work. A nice addition to any collection.

I think you are on the right track for sure.

What a stunner! Great work.

Thanks for those links Bill. After seeing some pics, this is very easily scratch built. Much appreciated.

Anyone.

Thanks very much.

Thanks very much.

If I was going to change the Revell '67 Charger into a NASCAR racer, what Mopar donor kit would provide all the NASCAR goodies? Wheels, tires, cage, seat, etc etc. Thanks for helpinng out.

One of these recently found it's way into my possession. Now I'm not a fan of the Thunderbird, so I pulled a out a Revell '67 Charger (my personal fav) and the wheel base is maybe a millimeter off. I'll have to mock up the suspension to get an accurate measurement, but it looks real good. This one has been on my bucket list for a long while. I'm chomping at the bit to get started.

Alumachrome? Can you be more specific?

Anyone casting a Pantera style transaxle??? I've a hankerin to move the engine backward a bit.

The hvac tape is just way too thick. I only use it to back red tail light lenses.

Is there a Model Master/Tamiya/Testors One Shot that is close to Hurst Gold?

I'm seeing all the photos as being deleted. What gives? Hows this one going?

.030 gauge wrapping wire to be exact. Comes in a variety of colors. It's a little overiszed, but I feel it looks pretty good.

Wow................................just...................................wow.

I picked this kit up in a trade and was shocked to see how bad a mold it was. I'll be using the gasser engine/chassis on something else. I like what you did with this. Oftentimes builting a beater out of a stinker kit is the better part of valor.
