Scale-Master Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 This is a model of my fourth car, circa 1983, in about the condition it was in when I sold it. I only had it for about 7 months. It was fast and unsafe. It was in this condition when I got it, but a bit dirtier and with a bunch of junk stuffed into the interior. I did little to it other than drive it to the brink of abuse, (not that it hadn't been treated that way before I got it), and I put the OCIR bumper sticker on it. It was the last year for the dragstrip. I didn't run this car on it, it would never have passed tech. (I did get my Camaro into the field for The Last Drag Race though. Ran my Vega there many times too.) I used the AMT Grumpy's Toy kit and added a few items to the model that made my car unique. This model was a blast to build and brought back many memories. It turned out to be a really quick build too; only 11 days. WIP thread: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=103049&page=1
