Looking good. Nice clean work. Only suggestion is apply some Tamiya panel line black to the grille....it will really pop. I just bought my wife a 76 Mustang II for her retirement present! So I have been working on a real one a lot!

The Super Stockers do have a 2 part chassis but it is different, very different that the MPC 'CUP' chassis version. As stated it has leaf springs and trailing arms for the rear and a more modern roll cage. you can adapt standard headeers to the kit with a little work for a more conventional layout. 180 headers were not legal in any series that ran in the Carolinas in the 70's.

Lotus Indy car or Offy Indy car reissue possibility?
Dave Van replied to Amtronic's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Indy kits are very poor sellers in all eras. RM said theirs never did sell enough to really pay for themselves. The AMT kits may have done better but the 70's era McLarens and Eagles were very inaccurate and much better version are available from resin kit guys. -

Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti Martini
Dave Van replied to Rich Chernosky's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
It's the first version of the Tamiya Alfa. I did not get the Martini version and did not know if it was a new tool or modified. Thanks!! -

Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti Martini
Dave Van replied to Rich Chernosky's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
I build a lot of 50's and 60's era race cars....many from old annual kits. So this Tamiya kit is worlds away from the fit and finish of these old kits! Kinda POV. A Q for you. This kits is the same kit with slight mods correct??? Or is it a different kit altogether? Thanks! -

The foot box has been a problem for many cars I liked...... Lotus Europa JPS tiny foot box not made for size 13 feet! Plymouth Prowler pedals to close together Have not sat in a Factory 5 but now I have a prosthetic left leg and do not fit in anything small!! Still cool to look!
