The front fender and rocker panel chrome trim were an extra cost trim option and often an aftermarket type of accessory. You could reproduce the trim with different sized Plastruct or Evergreen styrene strips.

Don't recall ever seeing a PT/Pickup before, like it a lot. Depending on the cost of a new cam, weather OEM or something better, wouldn't it be worthwhile to replace it since the engine is already apart than maybe had to do it all over again if or when the cam lobe goes flat? Been my limited experience that once the hard surface is gone on a cam they can det eriorate rapidly.

Have owned a Pontiac GTP Grand Prix with the Eaton super charger on the 3.8-liter V-6. Great car and fast when you wanted it to be. Smooth acceleration when driven normally and instantaneous power when you wanted it. Have driven a few factory Turbo Charged cars and found the response to throttle input to be lazy and then goes like an ON-OFF switch when you put your foot in it.

Beautiful smooth body and paint. Imagin if Henry had offered such a body back in the day, this is the sort of Rod or Custom we would see a lot of. Great wheel choice and stans.

I bought this exact model years ago at a local car show. The wheels in your picture look like the Pegasus wheels or could even be a representation of the Coy wheels. While the 1:1 car used a 5-lug wheel who's to say someone couldn't put some 6-lug brake drums from a pickup on there. My model also has 6-lug wheels on it.

Sounds like you're already well into the diagnostics of your problem already then.

Sorry to hear about your wildlife disaster in your display area. Like the body design here and your interior clutter adds to the look.

Beautiful looking build and design. The paint finish and color look amazing. Like the engine detailing.

Great looking body finish and color, like the flame decals. Clean looking engine. The rear tires might be a little overdone but think about how many times you have seen such a 1:1 car with more tire than it could ever really overpower.

I also remember your inspiration for this build and think it looks great. Smooth body line transitions on the spoiler and bumpers. Paint and interior all look like the ad as does the engine.

Great looking Street Rod. Like the way you did the interior and dash. The painted engine with the minimal chrome trim looks good.

Beautiful looking Corvette and like the removable top. The color looks great with the black trim.

The wiring detail looks much better than the kits lines and ridges.

Great looking interior design.

Sound looking foundation to start with. You mentioned fuel issues. Many possibilities with the miles and unknown service history. Having owned a '95 similar to this one thing I found was I had to keep a fresh fuel filter handy. Even buying supposedly Top Shelf rated fuel it seemed to clog the filter more than I thought it should. Besides they are not that expensive and fairly easy to replace. Might be a good place to start your diagnosis of the fuel issues.

I remember the summer of '62, having just graduated from High School and hanging out at the local A&W, one of my classmates from a far more financially able family had a new one as a graduation present. Sort of a light Yellow with Red Leather interior.

Oh, sorry. If the new kit is anything like the corresponding Dodge Charger kit, there should be no problem with parts fit.

Beautiful paint finish and color. Clean looking body trim and like the Monroney Window sticker.

Beautiful looking paint finish and color. Like how detailed the engine.

Like seeing this great kit done as a stock vehicle like this. Well done OEM style paint treatment and finishes. Well detailed stock engine.

Closest I ever had to a sports car and it sure was fun.

We may need to revert to the original Pony Express Riders.

Good parts fit and build style depends on your imagination.
