Actually, the engine in this particular car is facing backwards and uses a boat v-drive because of the torque steer that gave it an advantage at the track.

Looking at the first pic with the 3 bodies, the difference in the rear of the bodies between the AMT and the other 2, is that because of small block versus big block?

The pics are gone probably because he deleted them from his host after the trade/sale was made and they were no longer needed.

It would depend on the body style, ie. Belair, 210, 150 etc. as to what the trim level was on a given car. Many car builders add trim that wasn't on a particular car just for their own tastes in styling. Best bet would be to look at the car brochures for the model you want to replicate.

While louvers do serve a purpose on race cars, they're just a styling element on street cars and more is not always better.

Just start with the minimum you'll accept for it and let it go from there. Timing is also important, set sale to end Saturday or Sunday night to get the best prices.

He stopped for a burger in LA and this is what he came back to.

Looks like the "no fat chicks" bumper sticker would be too late!

They have always been a pleasure to deal with in my dealings with Revell customer service.

Really nice build in such a short time. Beautiful paint, how did you get it dry enough to polish in 1 day? and what kind is it? Next touch up would be chrome trunk hinges?

Depends on which engine in which car, 6 or 8, t-bird, full size or truck. Google shows mostly red repaints, but there are also green, turquoise, yellow and black in some stock unrestored pics. Looks like you can take your pick.

Yep, I'd drive that.

That looks great, love to see someone do well with a restoration.

Nice job, but I think your driver is going to want a little more protection out back.

That's probably up to you, since it won't be seen.

That was fun.

Definite improvement, really like the resto-rod look.

Every time I look at the first one, I hear Mexican music.

Beautiful work Pavel, I really like the "Mother-in-laws" seat out back!

Nice.

I've had luck heating my paint cans with an old adjustable heat iron, set on it's lowest setting. I turn the iron upside down in my bench vice, plug it in and set the paint I'm going to use on the bottom of the iron. Shake the paint as usual before it's put on the iron and after. The cans warm up to a comfortable temp to hold in your hand and the paint lays down really well with a nice gloss, it also dries faster. To test the temp of your iron place an open can half full of water on it, let it sit for about 5 minutes and carefully check the can to see if you can hold it. Better safe than sorry.

Didn't have the extra seat because it's a "race" show car.
