Some more progress, found a set of my resin BFG’s for the front tires and I started to build a Chevy bigblock for it.

Looking super! Nice cammo work mate!

Cool expedition! I believe no one would try some thing similar in that type of car today. I wonder what the equivalent car would be today?

Superb modeling!

Nice little build! And congratulations on the second place!

Great work on that body! Looks super

Had to redo the rear end since it just broke al the time and the printed tubes had also been curved so wheels was wonky. Trying to make some thing that looks like more like a normal k link setup as these had but with the “9 housing. I was thinking that this one does actually fit this years cannonball run except for the hood maybe and valve covers. We will see how it turns out.

Nice work there! Weathering looks cool!

Great progress on a classic Chevy! Have wanted to make one as well but I have not gotten around to it yet. I am building an other one right now but with the earlier style bumper. Btw, if you want a Monogram NASCAR chassis to go underneath it ( more correct than what the kit gives) I know a place in EU that carry NOS kits. Otherwise any amt/ revell Chevrolet or olds cutlass will suit the bill chassis wise.

Nice work there!

Sweet! Looking great!

Will work just fine with some adjustments 🙂 worse have been done great mockup!

yes, as far north you can get in the Baltic sea.

Nice looking Elco! I have a complete ‘74 front laying around exept doe lights and surrounds. But the cast corners for the round headlights. Was planing to put it on the ‘77 which had its front converter to 1973. But I never bought the car.

I believe Fujimi or aoshima also made these. Super simple kit though.

Made some tailpanel work. Pictures were taken at mid night.

Beautiful build! Great work

Thanks! Have not tried but I don’t have te time to try at the moment. I did however make a custom front out of my custom 74 and 75. A bit lower and more aero friendly.

Would be interesting I have two 1/16 kits started that I don’t get around doing so a new build off might do it. It was actually a build of that made me buy a 1/16 kit to begin with. But on Hiroboy forum.

So after trying to fitting the body I noticed that some thing was off. I think the rear portion of the body must have gotten twisted. So I will need to go with the other body I believe. I don’t see how I can fix that with the resin body, at least not here. If I put the other body on the chassis does look straight.

We have left for the summer cottage and I just grabbed a kit to build with a limited amount of parts and spares. So allot of compromises will be made. I have so far installed the rear end in the right position. Made a set of brakes. And sanded the wheels among other things.

It’s interesting how the AI states that ” I steered with” and sow on. And it have absolutely never even touched a plastic kit. This will be the end of reviews and such I am ready have a hard time with manny reviews that they are just rubbish and does not answer any thing.

Epic display it turned in to!!
