Matt87 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 (edited) I built it tricked out. Used a fireball model works carburetor for first time. Scratchbuilt alot of parts. Many aftermarket parts and spare parts used. I scratchbuilt the mirror. I could not get the best pics of the interior because of the side window glass. It was alot of fun and turned out really nice.

espo Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Great looking paint color and finish, reminds me of the Firethorn color of the time. Like the clean body chrome trim. Nice engine detailing. 1
LennyB Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Nice build, I like the stance. BTW the negative battery cable should go to the alternator bracket. 1
thatz4u Posted February 6 Posted February 6 reminds me of all the kids driving "downhill" back in the day...well done 1
