These kits do build into some really nice looking street machine/racers.  I would like to find another one.  Like what you have done with this one, especially using the Nova back half.; wish I had thought of that with mine instead of radiusing the wheel-wells.

Great looking color and paint finish. Nice detailing of the engine compartment. The staggered wheel and tire setup looks mean.

Oh ya… that’s tasty. Really like that, well done. The black hood is a nice choice, it makes it look a bit tougher.

Cheers, Steve

Nice looking little drap car.  Great build.  My mom use to love the Ramblers so we had a few when I was growing up but not like this.
