Mothersworry Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Built from vintage Revell Parts Packs and goodies from the parts box. Door has been "pinned" with fine metal wire to operate smoothly. Period Roth art on the bed cover. All metal finishes are Alclad, the firewall is cut from chrome Mylar 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 So many details to see. The red color is perfect for this beast. Like the mylar trick firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CabDriver Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Great looking build - I'd guess this is the collection of Parts Packs that Atlantis will be reissuing as a Keeler's Kustoms kit later this year, so it's interesting to see this build. Looks great, love the color, and the chrome mylar is a smart material to use for that firewall! Where do you source that, and what thickness is it?

Not exactly, as far as I know Atlantis is not reissuing the Buick engine parts pack but you can use the Tommy Ivo Showboat 4 engine dragster engines as they are essentially the same and Norm Veber (Replicas and Miniatures Of Maryland) has the resin parts to build the Tommy Ivo engines as parts pack engines. As I recall, I got the Chrome Mylar from Michael's but that wuz a few years ago, it's not to thick, kinda like contact paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Very nice. This is why I love the old parts-packs and the kits derived from them. You can't get much more period-perfect.

I have a couple of the Ivo kits that I picked up just for the engines - I've been meaning to figure out being able to print some parts to make them a little more usable for hot rod builds. Can't beat getting 4 engines in a kit to repurpose, even if you do have to do a little figuring out to make them work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
