Hey Guys. I purchased a Revell 1/16 Scale 3 Window Coupe a while back for a street style nostalgia gasser type build. I was impressed with the detail but even so I felt I could add more. I then proceeded to un chop the roof, open up the doors and add an open roof. On top of that I plan to open up the cowl vent and add inner door skins.The kit lends itself well to these modifications and I have been toying with the idea of doing a full one in resin, sourcing a different engine to the SBC possibly the sidevalve from the Minicraft 1/16 Model A kits or maybe a Hemi if I can find one. Which ever option I choose, the engine itself will be distinctly modified as well with Hillborn injection. The kits would still retain the same wheels but the tyres would be bias ply with white wall slicks at the back. The front end would be a straight tubular gasser style axle. The rear end would have a quick change rear with the traditional transverse leaf spring setup and the interior would have a traditional tuck and roll upholstery with a diamond tuft roof insert. I am planning on creating these parts for the build anyway, so I am wondering if anybody else would be interested in one as a kit. There are not many larger scale rods being done in resin so I am keen to get some feedback. Cheers !
