Rick Schmidt Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I finished up my Roadster tonight. I started with the Revell Basic builder kit. Cut the fenders from the frame unit then built up the chassis box stock. I took the kit engine and stripped it of all the molded in parts leaving only the block heads and transmission. I added all the stock parts from the Revell 56 Delray to the kit engine, and used valve covers from an AMT 57? Vette. I channeled the body down and moved the grille and cut the interior to match, then assembled what was left almost box stock.
James W Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I like your approach to this build. The end result is very nice too. Those wheels are in the Revell kit I assume? They look sweet.
Rick Schmidt Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 Yes sir everything but the engine parts are from the basic builder kit Thanks
fordh8r Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 My kinda build. Nicely done. I like everything about it.
