went to the hobby lobby a while ago with a 40 % off coupon and came how with a 69 Z28

pretty much a straight OOB build, i just added plug wires and changed the rolling stock setup (different wheels on the driver and passengerside to match the paintjob)

about the paintjob...when i was young i scooted around town on dirtbikes, i went everywhere on those things and i was always getting into trouble with the cops

(something about needing a license, registration and all that nonsence)

usually i would just get some rattle cans and paint my bike a different color when the cops got to know it too well

one day me and my buddies were sitting in the bar and we had this great idea...what if we painted one side of the bike blue and the other side red?

that would cut our changes of being recognized in half :wub:

so we did and thats where the idea for this paintjob came from

my only gripe about the kit is that it didnt come with radiotor hoses, something i plan to fix before putting her on the shelf for good :mellow:

as always, comments are welcomed

thanks guys

this turned out to be a very fun build

there was only one issue with it....i have no where to put it

i just now realised that most of my newer models are in the guestroom and the oldies reside in my man cave

but i have no display in the living room :(

the idea behind having different wheels on each side is in keeping with the two profiles, almost like a jeckle and hide deal :P

tyler, i do have the box laying around still, its one of the re-issues with the white/grey background and the yellow/bleu car

need a picture of it ?
