MrObsessive Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I'm 'bout positive (Dominick would know), those look for all the world like Chief Joseph's of Fireball Models. I just ordered a set of those myself for my '68 'Vette resto............ain't that a TERRIFIC looking carburetor??
espo Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Your engine looks outstanding. Are your Headers going to clear the Steering Box ??

I’m pretty sure are from Fireball! I found it in a bunch of resin stuff I have. I have few of them. Edited January 3, 2019 by Superbird McMonte Text

Could be a bootleg copy!

Superbird McMonte Posted January 4, 2019 Author Posted January 4, 2019 Got the interior done today. The mock up is good! Everything fits together really well! Very well engineered!
1972coronet Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Quite nice ! Where'd you get that Hone-O-Drive lever ?

afx Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Some info on the BM overdrive from the other model magazine http://cs.scaleautomag.com/sca/ask_scale_auto/f/12/t/114284.aspx
Justin Porter Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Really liking the engine and interior detail so far.
br67 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Nice work so far. What do think these original tires were - redlines?

I’d love to see the rest of this article.... In this picture it does look like they are red lines. I just made them up tonight. Edited January 5, 2019 by Superbird McMonte Text
Superbird McMonte Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 Spent a few hours on vinyl top trim Saturday night. It’s a real tough one! A couple more pieces to add along the quarter window and then the vinyl seams. But that will be tomorrow.
br67 Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Dominick this build just keeps getting better. What slicks are you using on the rear pls
Superbird McMonte Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 Those are the AMT pack with twin white stripe street slicks.
