6bblbird Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I can't believe that this thing is finally done! Seems like a lifetime ago that I started this project. I'm very happy with how it turned out and I'm glad that it's finally done. Decals are from Gofer. Yes, I put decals on crooked on 1:1 cars too!I found the hood emblem in the bottom of the box. It survived so long that I just had to install it The scoop was scratch built and rivet detail was added. This car may have been one of my first attempts with BMF. Interesting what the photos show that I can't see without magnification. Looks like a metallic rat started to eat the shifter! That's what you get for leaving a project in a box for 10 years! I have to fix that.The kit came with some godawful headers that I hated, but no matter what, I could not find decent replacements, so I amputated the turnouts and stuck a piece of shrink tube over the pipes! Looks better (at least I think so) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altered Ego Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The hood scoop and whitewall slicks make the whole thing for me. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Cool Nomad. I dig the vibe. One of my all time favourite kits, but you're right, the headers are no bueno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
