One of my favorite magazines back in the day and I remember reading it concerning this car.  Looks like you are well into this one.

Nice! I have the body and decals for this car. I knew Ted Struse, and stood in his garage, next to this car, more than once! I don't know if you're aware of this, but, Ted Struse founded one of the earliest model car aftermarket companies--MSC Model Products. I'm almost positive he was the first to market things like plug wires, and wire for brake lines, to modelers. Undoubtedly, he was first to make any kind of braided line available for modelers. Originally, he repackaged wrapping wire, for plug wires. It was better than what we didn't have, previously, but the insulation was translucent. It wasn't long, before he found something with opaque insulation. Anyway, I'm rambling. I still have a ton of old MSC stuff, because Ted was always giving stuff to Don Fahrni, and me! There are superior products, now, but, back then, his braided line sure beat trying to feed wire through a length of de-soldering wick, and get it colored silver, without it looking like a mess!

Anyway, I'll be watching this!

Looking forward to seeing more progress on this one Scott! I plan on building the same car using the Johan 69 Road Runner kit and a AMT 69 GTX for the chassis,engine and transmission.I have the same SMP decal sheet for it too.

I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing those JoHan kits when they were all over the place for a couple bucks!

[Moparman18064]

I hope you do get your grille. If you didn’t know, Shapeways shut down and filed bankruptcy. This is looking great Scott. I used to follow every update on that car as they published it.

It’s too bad, I hope another platform opens up for all the resin casters that were on there. It was a great way to get custom stuff( though pricey).

[Scott Eriksen]

Too damn hot to do anything outside today,,so I finished her up 

[Nitro330]
