Scale-Master Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 This is a model of my first car as it looked when I finished it, about 1982-83. I used an old AMT funny car body as the base. It needed a good amount of modification. I fabricated the tires and modified the Mini-lite five lug 15 inch wheels into 13 inch 4 lug Super-Lites. I made all the decals and the details that were unique to my car. The chassis is scratch-built too. WIP Thread: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=98931&hl=

wayne swayze Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Nice job! I especially like the windshield wipers...they are very crisply defined.
Scale-Master Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 Thanks again guys!The kit had no provision for wipers, (the cowl was missing a chunk too).Fortunately the wipers for the '68 Camaro I was building along side this were easily modified to fit the Vega, and the real Camaro had caps on the wiper posts so were not needed for that model.
John Teresi Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Mark ......turned out great........pretty cool little cruiser
Captain Obvious Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 The KMET and KLOS decals on the rear just seal the deal for me...that's gorgeous!
