Thats a beauty. Id love a look at that big block Chevy...

Is it me or is everyone getting seriously great around here?

Love today’s B-T-C car Mike! How did you kit bash this one? Reliable Resin body and Polar Lights  engine/ chassis? Beautiful blue paint and decal work, overall appearance and stance came out looking very accurate! I have yet to model a first gen. flipper FC but your builds are motivating me to give one a go.

I got to see the original 1:1 of this car with JJ behind the wheel win the night at OCIR (in ‘69?) when I was a pimply 16 yr old and “Age of Aquarius” was climbing the Bill Board chart. 45+ years later, I encountered this same car at the “World of Speed” auto museum near Portland, OR before they shut the place down. Wished I’d taken some pictures of it!
