I've been working on this kit, one way or another for the past decade or so. Originally I was going to do a chassis swap with the large scale Cale Yarobrough Thunderbird. I've since given up on that version and thought a Must-chero would be the kind of crazy thing to do. The wheels and side pipes are from the Trans-Am kit and I will be painting it candy apple red....going for that 70s-80s custom/mini truck look.

-Going to have to do a lot of work with the engine compartment. Originally I was going to put a NASCAR chassis under it so I  hacked all that out.

Had some left over Nascar parts so I used the firewall and the roll cage pieces to mount the shocks

Pretty kewl project there Kristopher.  I believe is the 1:1 car was developed back in the day it would have went over pretty well.
