The Torque Thrust "T's" from Pegasus Hobbies will make the proper style wheel, & they already have the lower profile tires, or you can use their wheels with the kit tires, that is what I did with the '06, & painted the centers gunmetal to look like the optional wheels that Ford offered.

I jus' don't know for sure, but something just says, make that screams, MODEL!

Model, I was looking real close to see if "it" was looking real close,,,, you know the way it goes, definitely a model.

Remember that if you go with the 327, to use the hood from the El Camino, it isn't an SS hood.

The only difference is that the interior (bottom of the hood, & trunk lid) are not clear coated from the factory.

EXCELLENT!, I really like the way this turned out, now do one of the AMPED car to go on the other side of the shelf.

Nice lookin' Chevy, not to nit pik, but your carb is on backwards, the choke horn gos in the front.

I'm gonna' vote real, I think Harry is trying to fool us with the "look close" thing.

I'm gonna go with the majority at this time, & say real, jus' 'cause.

Thanks guys, I never thought about the propellant thing, I've been a painter of full size cars since '67, & though I'd seen about everything there was to see,. I have had problems on a full size Cadillac with cratering due to solvent popping due to too much material & the top coat sealing before it could gas out enough, but that looked like tiny fish eye in the finish. On the subject of covering fish eye if you do get it, it will cover much easier if you just mist on a couple of coats until the paint sticks, then lay on your heavy coat to flow the finish out.

Beeeautiful blue, what color/brand is it?

Has anybody had a problem with Tamiya paints pinholing in the finish coat? I just painted a model in the Chrome yellow, and just after laying down the final wet coat, it appeared that the paint started to wrinkle in a few places, after letting it dry for 24 hours I proceeded to color sand w/2000 wet paper & it looked as if it was solving the problem but on close inspection the paint in the affected areas have very minute pinhole like the pain had tried to "air out" & caused the appearance of wrinkling. did I put the wet coat on too heavy, or too soon, or what. Thanks for the answers, I know I'll get a few.

Have fun & enjoy. Just don't come back with the story that you must have done good, you drove there in a 10,000 dollar car, & came home in a 50,000 dollar bus.

I'm probably gonna be wrong this time, but I have to say it's a model, it just has that feeling.

If you have a local KB Toy Liquidators store they can be a good source of Maisto diecasts, also you can check Wal Mart, ours has some of the 1/24 Maisto cars for $5.98.

I have to say ,,,,MODEL. Methinks that the rivets on the steering wheel are a little big, & the interior detail on those Weber carbs look a bit strange.

I don't know if we're ever gonna find out, but I say model, the tie rod ends are kinda funky for real.

I'm gonna say real, but there is something about those end panels on the rear wing that just don't look right..... carbon on the outside, aluminum on the inside? might just be a REAL good build.

I have to go with real, but I believe it is bagged, not hydraulics.

I think that's a ringer, I say real.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate any pictures that can shed light to what is in the box before I have to put out the cash.

If you can find some of the "Homies" figures, most of their dogs are in pretty much the right scale, unlike the people that are a little small.

I was wondering the same thing, I can remember spending hours in my advanced art class in high school making those things, I don't think the teacher ever figured out that I was selling them to other students. (Sorry Mr. Moore)

I would say that it's a real one, I saw a1:1 reproduction at last years "Kool April Nites" in Redding, by the way it's coming the 13th thru the 20th of April. The week after is the "Hotorarama" at the fair grounds in Anderson will be the weekend after, & it has a model contest/show.

I bet the guy with the bag has stock in "Fruit of The Loom"
