Now I know this kit has is short falls but as a kid interested in drag cars and hot rods it was always one of my hero kits. So I thought now as an old f@#t why not build it. I added the correct 396 engine and tweaked the wheel tire combo, added an aluminium firewall and scratch built headers. Added a few extra decals and also changed the injection scoop to match the shape of the perspex hood scoop better. I spent plenty of time making the interior smicko only to have it hidden by the dark tinted glass. Whilst not true to the box art my version has definitely put a smile on my face now it's sitting in the display case. Any way hope you all like it.

Nice work, looks way better than the one i remember building all those years ago.

And a great job on the scoop idea and scratch built headers, much better than the kit offered.

Awesome job buddy. She looks perfect with the extra add ons. You could always post pics of the interior if you have any.
