This is a model car that I quickly threw together last year. It wasn't super accurate it had bucket seats, to skinny tires in the back, and I didn't have ignition wire then and only had thread.

I then got tired of the inaccuracies and decided to fix them. The rear tires I used from the amt 57 chevy (I also think that's where the wheels came from). I also cleaned up the engine, drilled out the distributor, and drilled out the fuel block and added those. Not much besides that but there's more in the original post of this car.

I think this car looks a lot better now. The stance is also a lot more accurate. "The front of this, this, this thing your driving looks a little low", "oh no sir, its 12 1/2" regulation size now its been checked several times, you can check it if you like sir".20240602_084205.thumb.jpg.ef44af52013f7d3d42378b71d1fe23e9.jpg20240602_084358.jpg.0c54cb3db4b0f903ef7f5478606868d5.jpg20240602_084421.thumb.jpg.afc1f70d1ac3097bf4b24f3e4ee8cbff.jpg20240602_095933.thumb.jpg.3c6757fb5953b2d6f7e5958c01932826.jpg

The correct Man-a-Fre intake (or something darn like it) is in the '63-4 Riviera annual kit, of all the places. 

I've cast it, just have to find the darn things!

I'm pretty sure this is just a c2 corvette fuel injection intake I think. Or it could be a Man-a-fre but I don't know it came from the parts box. It looks the part and has spots for 4 two barrel carbs (which I fdm 3d printed).

Very cool build! I may have to rewatch that movie now. It's such a classic!

Thank you! American graffit is a movie that I could watch a thousand times and still not get tired of it.
