So, I saw this car over a year ago as a cover car of sorts for Amsoil motor oil and fell in love with it…IMG_3563.jpeg.8f41c79b1679e89c8f1883ab6591120e.jpeg

so using this as inspiration, I embarked on a venture to recreate this in scale…and hit my issues along the way but I’m calling it done. Overall, it was fun but not my best work. The hood doesn’t fit well and it’s held up by the engine. The paint gave me fits, as well, but calling it done.

So hear it is based off the Revell 70 Road Runner…

Cool Plymouth there Brian, I also had issues with an ill fitting hood on my 68 Shelby with the 427 sohc engine, which was remedied with a parts box scoop. For me half the fun is finding ways to make things fit. Well done on an interesting build.

I also remember your inspiration for this build and think it looks great. Smooth body line transitions on the spoiler and bumpers. Paint and interior all look like the ad as does the engine.

Great build, I like the stock stearingwheel, heritage and history !

In retrospect, I should have put a tall scoop on it which would have allowed the engine to sit a tad taller in the engine bay thus solving that issue but once the paint was on it for the final time, I said no and left it alone.
