Another modified diecast.

It started out as this Welly model.

And ended here. I built it to replicate, as close as possible, the one my cousin Charlie had back in the mid 70's. RIP Charlie.

Big improvement!  I've done a number of DC remods: Maisto '58 and 59 Caddies to kustoms, '53 Studebaker coupe with scrached McCulloch in a diorama, Burrago 280Z Tom Daniels (to doorslammer) and like them -- despite limitations -- because I can glass-bead the metal for new paint, etc. and the often larger scale is easier for 80-year old me to handle -- and see!  Oh, also a Maisto 240Z painted like my 1/1 car, Honda silver, and autographed by Pete Brock, John Morton, restorer Steve Pettersen, and my Humble self, as author of 'How to Restore Your Datsun Z-Car' (1990, and still in print!) though it was a bugger to reassemble, and like most DC modifications, hard to find scale rims for, really.  Wick

Sounds like cool mods James. Do you have any pics to share? I'd love to see them.👍💯

[Wickersham Humble]

I need to take some of the Caddies!  The '59 won second in DC at IPMS in '23.  These Z photos are not too good, but...  Wick

That's pretty cool James.💯👍

Gene,

Thanks!  I love early Z-Cars, saddened by the prospect of having to sell my '71 restomod (with less than 500 miles on the complete re-do!) but 'Life's what happens..."

My old (80) eyes tell me my cars look pretty good, but when the true details are brought out in photos, the truth dawns... and it is disappointing.  You can't see 'em, but the valve covers (BBC) have tiny Datsun decals on them. Nissan 454?  Race 64 is oc, the opposite of Brock/Morton's C/Prod champ from the Revell kit.
