Originally built this as a stock but wasn't really happy with it. I thought if I'm going to strip it back I might as well do the kit supplied drag version with it's worked Buick V-6. Glad I did! 

I'll revisit the stock version later with a second kit.

Sweet little gasser, really like the idea of the V-6; should classify it in H/G.  A side story, when these were first introduced they were compared to the Corvette in appearance. A friend of mine bought one. When he came by to show it off I asked him who had washed his Corvette in hot water and shrank it. He was not amused, crawled in his "mini-vette" and drove off.

Very beautiful and clean build of one of my favorite cars Garry.  Back in the days (early 70s) I was able to stuff a Potvin blown 427 SOHC Ford engine in one of these AMT kits.  Had to notch out the foot wells a bit but it fit pretty well.

I missed this the first time around so great to see it today!  I started one about ten years ago but got bogged down building a new frame.  This is just the inspiration I need to get it going again. Great proportions and I love the colour.

Cheers
