espo Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Looks great, haven't seen one of these done lately. Like the finishes and the wheel & tire combo. 1 1
Geno Posted June 7 Author Posted June 7 (edited) Thanks guys, I certainly do appreciate it. I always liked the Quicksilver kit, and built it years ago as a kid, then foolishly traded it off. Now they're kinda pricey, if you can even find one. So I wanted to do one my way, with a twist. Built from the Bad News kit. Grille, tail panel and dash are from a scrap JADA diecast. I never liked the plain flat kit dash. Wheels and tires are Pegasus. Thanks for even checking it out.💯😊 Edited June 7 by Geno 2
DJMar Posted June 8 Posted June 8 Sweet build on this classic! I'm digging the silver & red color combo. Super nice work on the tail panel and taillights, too, it looks way better than the kit piece. It's crazy to think about how many of the Bad News/Bad Actor/Street Fighter kits I've built over the years, but failed to keep one in the stash. 1 1
satterwhite78 Posted June 8 Posted June 8 The Quick Silver series of reissues always looked good. Had and built the original Quick Silver when younger. What you've done by using the JADA parts is what the next reissue should have as a optional version! Love it! 1 1
ybsluos Posted June 9 Posted June 9 (edited) Gene I saw it in Toledo I believe a while back. It should be noted that I did not take this photo and I hope whoever did doesn’t mind me stealing it from their Fotki folder. I thought you’d get a kick out of it. What’s funny is I was just looking at Fotki contest coverage photos about a week ago and I came across this picture when I saw your post here I was hoping I could remember where to find the photo. AmazinglyI found it . Anyhow, fantastic build man! -Mark Edited June 9 by ybsluos Wrong phrasing 1 1
ncbuckeye67 Posted June 10 Posted June 10 That's awesome! I love to see some of these "Holy Grail" kits actually built. 1
