Brutalform Posted October 20, 2024 Posted October 20, 2024 I finally completed this build today. Had a problem with the rear window, as it wasn’t fitting very well, and I cracked the original one, and had to get another from Pegasus. It still isn’t in all the way at the top, but this is how it will be I suppose. Also the front grill should be flush with the front fenders, but if you try to fix that, the hood and its trim will be off then. Other than that, it was overall pretty fun. Built out of the box, except for the rims, carbs, and wires. Also added a Dana rear to the existing springs. 9
Shark Posted October 20, 2024 Posted October 20, 2024 The engine compartment shots look real. You did a great job on this one. Love the old factory Hot rods.
papajohn97 Posted October 20, 2024 Posted October 20, 2024 Beautiful build! I second the motion on the engine detailing!
6bblbird Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 Well done! The time spent on the under hood detailing was well worth it! 1
Ragtop Man Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 The engine detail is great. Really makes the build! Will keep the window and grille in mind when it is time to get going on mine - many thanks for the heads-up.
Nitro330 Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 Really cool build Tom! The underhood detail is top notch. Love the simple badass look of these A990's.

The problem I encountered with the rear glass was it didn’t want to fit in flush no matter what I did to it. I even snapped the original and had to order another from Pegasus Hobbies. It seems to have a “peak” in the top center. The last pic it’s noticeable but maybe the next build will be better. Edited November 1, 2024 by Brutalform
