This is the old AMT 34. This kit comes with branded speed and shiny bits, which I believe at the time it came out were not a thing. They would make parts look like branded and known speed and dress up pieces but didn't scribe the maker into the parts. This kit came with Weiand and Edelbrock branded goodies and no alternatives. Typical SBC in a Ford as was more often used in such builds. Lavender non Z'd rails and yellow body add a girlish contrast. Revell funny car wheels and tires. Everything else is kit provided. I have since mounted the head and taillights but for the life of me I cannot find it to reshoot it finished. It's sitting in a sea of boxes with either mid complete or finished builds. Use your imagination for their placement. Decals from my now considerable collection of bits and pieces.

Thanks brother. I may tweak the exhaust. It's nonexistent even though it does run under the car. It needs presence. And I'll snap some newer pics.

Great looking body finish and color, like the flame decals. Clean looking engine. The rear tires might be a little overdone but think about how many times you have seen such a 1:1 car with more tire than it could ever really overpower.

I've seen my share of those as well and wanted mine to look that way. Big blown Hemi's with open zoomies and ridiculous rakes. Not raked, but the tires helped.

I think that Yellow is a color meant for them old fords and nothing else. I now have to get a nice simple yellow. Beautiful build!
