I've had this body for many years and finally got the parts that was needed to put it together.  I don't have an engine, but that's ok.  Here are some pics of how it turned out.  I didn't paint the body.  This is how I got it.  It is a beater fer sure.

Well, that one's seen better days, hasn't it?  Nicely done.

That's pretty sweet! I've acquired a couple of built ups too, that I did nothing with because they already had a weathered look.

Great looking beater. Wonder if they could use that in the next Eddy Murphy movie?

Thanks everyone for the kind words.  I really enjoyed rebuilding this.  Stuff like this keeps the "ol noggin working.

Very nice beater!  That would look good on a trailer behind or in a diorama!

Its nice to see models that resemble real daily drivers !

Ive got a complete unassembled small bock engine for this kit if you want it.  I rarely use the small block chevy engines in my projects.

Thanks Sean, but I really didn't want to use an engine.  I do have one of the engine's that came with an engine stand that I'm going to pose with the car like the engine is being rebuilt.

Hey Boss, any idea what the back wheels are off of?
