Thanks Bob, I decided the cross ram was the better option for an old school custom, was contemplating a LS3 with double stacked superchargers.

I really enjoyed building the Holden Panel Van I recently completed, so why not build another one 😁

So dug out another kit from the stash.

I found this image a while back when searching for Holden Sandmans and it will be the inspiration for this build.

A fellow Aussie modeler sourced the paint for me from a model show as it was a limited run only available at the event. And graphics were sourced from another Aussie company Lazy Modeller.

I 3D printed some wheels that I got the files from Z Force Model Worx , they are pretty much the same as Holden GTS Sprint wheels. And have set the stance.

Lifes to short to build one model at a time 🤣 

Bringing this one back to the bench for completion.

Started planning out the engine with some 3D printed components. I printed the inlet manifold, triple webers and using a Iceman Collections 6cyl distributor.

G’day Luke, l’m a big fan of these little Toranas, so I’ll be looking in on this one. 👍🏻
