bluestringer Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Finished up this little drag car. Nice kit, but some fit issues with the hood and interior tub that I tried to make fit a little better. The frame had a warp that I didn't notice until it was too late to fix. I decided to go with no trim, and no front bumper. I built a rear push bumper. It was the Coke kit, but I used some decals I found in my parts stuff. All in all came out ok. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransAmMike Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Good job James, looks good in blue. One day I might finish mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeah Nah Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Turned out great James. Did the Coke issue of this kit come with the green tinted glass or did you tint it yourself? I have the 'Original Art' issue and it only has plain clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledsel Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Turned out nice. Yea, sometimes these old kits can give you fit issues. Been there, but now I now do a ton of mock ups even before painting and even then will have issues, albeit smaller ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew McD Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Man I hate warped frame surprises but you seem to have dealt with it very effectively. I too love that body style. Very nice looking hot rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
