Grease - White Lightning

[spencer1984]

Built from the Revell kit released a couple years back. I gave it a little more go with a set of heads and carbs from RMoM, a parts box intake, and scratch built dual exhausts. Slight lift in the back, baby Moons up front, shaved door handles, and recessed rear plate to match the movie car. A full writeup of the build is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome.

A couple of pics with my Karate Kid Ford, the kit that was originally slated for this build before Revell released their official version:

I like to see movie cars especially when they well build like this. Great job.

Very clean build of the Grease convertible. I have this kit and it’s a bit disappointing that no hop up parts for the Flathead were included so it’s cool to see you added them and a dual exhaust. The recessed license plate is a simple detail that goes a long way.

Thanks! I was also hoping they'd throw in a set of finned heads or the like on the new parts tree. Fortunately there are enough aftermarket and parts box options to fix the shortcoming.

Superb?

That's a great looking pair of Fords! The interior on the white one is fabulous.

Well done Bill , love the white paint and detailed engine & interior !  Not really familiar with the movie car , I'm guessing that's where the lightning bolts are from ?

[spencer1984]

Thank you!

Yes, they're not my favorite decoration but the bolts were a big part of the movie car's look. As a custom supposedly built by high school kids, I'm giving it a bit of a pass ?
