Nicholas Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) Well, as if I don’t have enough on my plate, I decided to join a group build off on Instagram, it’s a 1969 A-12 superbee here are some pictures of the work in progress, I put the rapid transit 70 Cudas on hold for now. I have one month to finish this. What did I get myself into?🤣 Edited August 5 by Nicholas 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Posted August 7 Author Share Posted August 7 (edited) Some more progress on the engine, the iceman collections 3-D carb intake air cleaner set up is one of the best I’ve ever used very realistic, even the drains on the air cleaner, housing, although I added my own hoses , also got the vinyl top painted, I used MCW textured white paint. The stuff is great. I use it for all my vinyl tops .now on to wet sanding the body decals, clear coat, then some bare metal foil and possibly assembly time ,i am plugging along on this and should make the deadline barring no un forseen disasters 🤣,this is my first ever online build/build off, very exciting!

Brutalform Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Your color choice looks great. A couple years ago, I built a couple of A12s. A Mystic Green Superbee, and a Hemi Orange Roadrunner. I also used Joseph’s parts as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
