I've got a couple builds planned for the winter months... but this one, is the one I'm starting first. Here is the 2 kits I'm planning on using for this build...

I have to say, the wagon is a nice kit... I really could find much at all that needed to be fixed. Good enough for me anyway.

Been trying to figure out what I want to do with it, since I opened the kit... paint, engine, hood, etc.. All I have so far is the paint scheme. The inspiration for the paint came from looking for ideas for another build. I really love using google to search for custom paint jobs. Google is where I found this...

Not going to be exactly like it, but it spoke to me. I washed the body, and primed it with Testors custom lacquer gray. smoothed it out some. Then came back in this weekend and sprayed my colors. Decided on Testors one coat Blazin Black and Revving Red... flames by FlameMasks.com.. Nice flame masks. I really dig em.

With work pickin up for the end of quarter, end of year figures... and the preparing for the Christmas... I really haven't had anytime to work on it. But I did get the chassis painted and assembled. Pretty sure I dig the stance enough, this will be the ride height. Idk... we'll see. Anyway, here's the chassis...

How goes it everybody...

Well, just like everything else in life... the year hasn't went as planned so to speak. So this and all the other projects have sit on the self this whole time. But today, finally a step in the right direction. Received my hood in the mail today, from Lex's Scale Modeling. Set in on the body to see how it was gonna look... WOW. Awesome stuff this guy has...

I Misplaced the taillights and the chrome strip for the front of the hood... Now I have to figure out if this goes under glass or drag racing... Anyway, hope you dig it as much as i do, and as always Thanks for looking!
