36 Plymouth Early Modified

[grant_3250]

Purchased as a semi-complete model for $10 AUS at a market in a ziplock bag marked 'early Chevy'. Got it home and with a little research, found it was an AMT 36 Plymouth Early Modified. The previous modeller had used superglue on most parts, however because it was a race car I wasn't to stressed about a polished rebuild. What started out as a 'quick' rebuild ending up including: custom decals, weathering, engine wiring, scratch built front roll cage and grill and custom exhaust manifold (exhaust was missing from kit). A really fun kit to re-build. 

Constructive criticism welcome and encouraged.

Nice looking model. That's a tough kit to make look good, but you did it.

I have shortened that tail before for an even better look.

That's cool! You can't go wrong restoring an old modified ... that's how they looked!
