See final pics..................'Under Glass'.

Update..........Well.........because the chassis and everything else is askew, not square, I've had to shave off and bend the floor to fit. Then you have the problem of the tailgate not fitting, but guess what...............it did! And a tatoo and earing for the driver........... a few flames.......... and the horn and rear light fit.................... and of course there are only exhaust manifolds, so I attached some ally tube to finish the exhaust off. More tomorrow hopefully.

Yes John well spotted!

Yes that's right Hemi er...... John.

Hi 426-Hemi, When you look at the box art you immediately notice the rear wheel closest is off the ground that's the way it's made. Superb! Crazy!
-
Yes Dave it certainly is. Imagine trying to build a car with a twisted chassis/frame, that is this kit!
-
Part started from ebay UK again! -
As I'm waiting for various printer ink cartridges to be delivered, I'm building this indoors instead of in my garden cabin workplace..................... Floor in............. Rear Door..........
-
The Slixx decals really make it stand out, well done. But I've just looked on their site and these don't appear.
-
Wow very nice indeed!
-
As a regular Bathurst supporter here in the UK, I'm going to try and pick this up from somewhere this weekend. I may have to wait until next week to see highlights on Eurosport or Motors TV, both here on Sky TV.

Hey cobraman, do you happen to have a photo please?

Nothing yet Dann, It's taking a lot of measuring, lengthening a chassis, plasticard checking to see that I have enough. Having recently, over the weekend losing an auction for a Sandpiper kit, ( that went for over $100) similar to the Surf Woody, I'm thinking of scratchbuilding one of those! Busy time! And of course producing more woodgrain decals for the Silly Surfers one.
-
Well Dann I'm trying to build a truck/lorry at the minute. It needs a fair bit of scratchbuilding.
-
Thanks Geoff, I didn't get to it, unfortunately.

Which IPMS show was that Geoff, in the UK?

I don't think I've ever had a transatlantic parcel delivered so fast. I ordered this through Amazon UK from Mitros Toys in New Jersey on the 25 January and it came today the 31 January! As soon as I opened the packaging I started to laugh, what silly box art work! I don't normally save the box top art, but as this is by far the funniest I'll pin it on the wall of my cabin where I do all of my modelling! I did ask before I bought it what scale it was but it's not anywhere on the box, but I'm pleased because it is quite big and lends to a bit of detail work!
-
WOW that looks great, I've been looking for one of these, I've recently done a road going version. I used to see these race in the day, superb swoopy and fast!
-
Thanks Dann imagination is absolutely the answer with modelmaking.
-
Yes Bob it sounds cold! It's 8C here in the UK at present and where our eldest son lives near Calgary tthat's -20C so even 59F is great let alone 70F!
-
Thanks Jim I like it when surfs up, but not here it's too cold, your place would be perfect!
-
Thanks Dan, well it might be a beach in Canada, but later in the year!
-
Cheers Guy, yes just as good at being creative as anywhere in the world!
-
Neat, clean with the right stance, well done!

Cheers guys!
