Not sure if I picked this up from HL or Wal-Mart when it was reissued twenty odd years ago. I started it, changed the tires, and put it away. It's finished now. Easy kit other that the typical flash removal and trial and error fitting. The latest issues have better decals. Needs wider rear tires. If I come across some I like, I'll swap them. There were none in my parts or any of my unstarted kits. Swapped the bug catcher too. The original was just sad. The only other modification was the forward chassis to interior tub mount. There was too much space, so I added a couple of interior retainer washers to fill the space. They fit perfect. All paints were Rust-O-leum 2X

How I found it in the box. That was the original bug catcher

Very good work, nice detailing, interior looks very well done, super shiny paint, I like the redline tires.

Thanks! The redline tires were done initially from the box photos because I didn't like the skimpy kit tires. I apparently didn't do any internet research or something when I started on it or I would have found proper tires the wheels were cemented into the tires. I didn't have any good Cragar SS wheels and wide tires to do it correctly

Very nice. Speedway Decals makes a great set of accurate gold engine turned decals for it.

Thank you! That's good to know if I ever do it again
