bobss396 Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 This has kicking around since possibly 2008. I had chopped the body, Norm Veber was interested in casting it, but it took me forever. I changed the Hemi for a Chevy 409. I have a slew of parts squirreld away. I'm probably sticking with the kit suspension pieces. I have no idea where the bomber seats came from. Tires are from Modelhaus. 20240103_131804.mp4 6
gman Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 All of those components look very promising- I'll look forward to watching your build.
Bullybeef Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 Lots of neat bits there Bob, can’t wait to see how it looks all together.

Paul Payne Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 Very tasty collection of components- will be following along! 1
customline Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 I like the engine choice, Bob, and that's a really nice chop on a 5W. Will this build be an era-accurate example?

I have a few of his parts that I’ve found at shows and on eBay, but not nearly as many as I’d like…saving a bunch of them for a special project at some point!

TCB, Adam They came with the engine, source unknown. One guy in the club does slot cars and he sells the leftover parts.
