    I'd start with a piece of insulation styrofoam about 2" thick cut to the size you want, layout the area for the pavement and the ditch and start cutting. Paint with flat latex paint, gravel and grass are available in the train section of most hobby stores. Use a lot of reference photos for details. Good luck.

    Back then it was "use whacha got". Looks like firecracker fodder.

    A 97 Suburban parts truck, $500 and drove it home, neighbor told me to take off what I wanted and he would give me $500 for what's left. Free parts, yeah!

    Another little detail I didn't notice, this particular intake has fuel injection nozzles plumbed into it, haven't ever seen that before. Usually the fuel is injected at the air intake to help cool the supercharger, maybe this one had both?

    If you look at the blower, the case is made for a top mounted system, the front mount case is different.

    Yeah, I liked the red wheels better too. Then all you need to do is get out your pin striping brush and put a red stripe around the scallops.

    Looks like it fits over a short dragster chassis. http://www.speedhunters.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/California-Hot-Rod-Reunion-2015-88-copy.jpg http://www.speedhunters.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/California-Hot-Rod-Reunion-2015-91-copy-1200x800.jpg

    I use nail polish too, just look on the bottle and see what type of reducer was used in each. Some are acrylics, some are oil based.

    Actually, the magazines at the Hobby Shop come in a box.

    Got to spend some time at Silver Springs State Park with the guys at our club cook out. Had a great time, beautiful weather, good food and lots of model talk ( some of the BS overheard was getting deep).

    Really nice James, can you put breaks in the trim you added where the doors open? That looks strange.

    My first was a 59 Plymouth (in 59), tan no paint, lasted till new years and we got firecrackers to play with.
