This has ALWAYS been one of my favorite customs. In fact I just got one unbuilt in the box, from one of our members, gotta GREAT deal on it. I got a built one too, that I want to turn BACK into a HORSE drawn Hearse. Yours came out GREAT for what you started with! GREAT JOB!!!!

Big gap between the roof and the side in the first pic. Other than that, and the missing t-lights, looks nice!

I think it looks good,glad to see you rebuilt it,I love this kit and have looked for one for years,everytime I found it either it was to high or someone else bought it first.Finally about 2 weeks ago I got one for 25 bucks.

I do have to ask are those rear tires amt good year slick like the ones in there 66 nova,if not can you tell me what kit there from,I think they look great on it,much better than the kit tires.

I agree…much better than the kit tires.  I think they are the Pro Steet Nova tires (the old MPC Blue Streak slicks). But it looks like he beveled where the sidewalls meet the footprint with sandpaper

That's not a gap, that's an intake vent. Otherwise the engine would just suck in the glass! ?
