Chuck Most Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 This is a mostly box stock buildup of the Tamiya kit. Mostly. There are two versions of this kit, I started with the stock version, but added the carbs and air cleaner from the racing version, wired the engine, and used the smooth baby Moon hub caps from an AMT '57 Ford Fairlane, it's out-of-box. Other than the gap at the back edge of the optional hard top, and the fact that the Honda metal transfer letters for the trunk lid absolutely refused to stick (that could be due to the fact it's a 22 year old kit) it's a pretty nice little kit. Freshly finished and there's already dust in the interior...
DumpyDan Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 What a great looking Honda Chuck, it looks so good nice work
espo Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Very nice looking. If you still are thinking about the Honda lettering on the trunk try a dab if clear paint as an adhesive on the lettering.
1930fordpickup Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 This is cool Chuck. You do not see many of these built up.
bbowser Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 I was expecting a rust bucket! This is very nice, may have to pick one up.
Dann Tier Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 VERY cool little car!!......well done!!!!!
Chuck Most Posted September 18, 2017 Author Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks guys! Just finished another one with a V8 swap and another done as a drag car... and I'm thinking of doing one more as a mild period custom, though a buddy is trying to convince me to start with the S600 version just to mix it up a little.
