Thanks again everybody.

I have some time off later in the week, I'll see if I can get some engine and chassis photos posted.

My mother-in-law had a "Matadork" in that exact color. I hope to do as nice a job as you did at replicating hers when I get to that kit.

A great,but odd looking car.You did an excellent job on yours.

Just needs a set of wings and Christopher Lee behind the wheel and it's "The Man With The Golden Gun" all over. Very nice build.

Beautifully done!  Was it inspired by Scaramanga's car from the James Bond "The Man With The Golden Gun"?

Love AMC's work.....

I've been working on restoring my photos that were lost in the Great Photo Bucket Debacle of 2017.

Here is my most recently repaired thread.

Thank you, I appreciate the comment.

I also have a build thread if you're interested in how it all came together. There were a number of adjustments that I needed to make to bring it all together.

Here's a link.

Thanks for the build link. Somehow I missed the original build. 

I am building the Matador from Adam-12 that Pete drove as his private car. 

 

Maybe some day I will get around to building my 1/1 Matador.....need to finish restore first!!!

How about a Pro Street style 1/1 Matador. I have built a scale model of such and the Pro Street is well suited for Matador.

You're welcome Dave, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I look forward to seeing your Matador on the bench.
