SawgrassRaven Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 The notorious kit from the 80s. The red is darker than the pic shows. Please excuse my bad photo skills. I hope you like it.
Lizz62 Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Nice . I have one to build. Hope it's that nice when I'm done.
SawgrassRaven Posted May 27, 2017 Author Posted May 27, 2017 Nice! Great job on attaching that separate top. Yeah. That's one of a few issues that made this kit a blood pressure killer.
62rebel Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 Nice build, I've never been able to finish it as the Eliminator. I always backdate it.
Custom Mike Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 Great work Jason, between this, the Howlin' Wolf build and the Moonshiner, you show some incredibly high-end skills. No need to doubt yourself brother, you're good! Nice! Great job on attaching that separate top. Now I finally know where the chopped top I have in my parts stash came from, thanks Glenn! I've had it for years and had no idea what it came from, because I never bought this kit!
SawgrassRaven Posted May 28, 2017 Author Posted May 28, 2017 One B/A Ford...! Nice job...! Any engine pics ? Sure.

D. Battista Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Thanks Jason for the pic was wondering if you used the kit engine with the ZZ top valve covers and air cleaner...I like those parts ...... Very cool kit ....and like others have said you do excellent work...!

I like those parts ...... Very cool kit ....and like others have said you do excellent work...! Yeah, it's all box stock. Including that extra molded-in muffler and exhaust to compliment the dual exhausts . One day I plan to build another, except done right.
Cardz Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Totally remember building this one....yours looks great!
Dennis Lacy Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Nice! It always makes me smile when I see someone build the Eliminator Coupe. Especially 35 years after the real car was built. Goes to show what an icon the car is. I was a little kid in the early 80's when the series of videos came out featuring the car and it is what's responsible for me listening to ZZ Top's music. I built several of these models as a kid. The engine and chassis are terrible but the part that matters, the exterior, is right-on.
Snake45 Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Nice clean build--could be a box art car. Great work on a kit that's not so great itself.
darthsideous Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 I love this car. I still remember seeing it in the gimme all your lovin video. Nice job?
