I'm more a '57 guy but all Tri-fives work for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second is the 2018 release. Cheers, David. 😎👍 2003 release. 2018 release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after seeing yours i may have to pick up a couple. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also built the kit you reference and as I remember it's an easier build than the one here. Here's mine like that I did Aftermarket resin hood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70 Sting Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Somehow I missed this one (or two). Great looking ride - your chrome on black looks awesome and can’t go wrong with a red interior. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
