Reeves Racing Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 This is a box stock build of the AMT kit. This kit was a gift to me for painting the body shells of some 65 Novas. The kit fits together very nicely and buids up well. The chassis is very bland with all molded in suspension. The engine had nice detail but the engine compartment is the worst I have ever seen for accuracy and detail. The wheels and tires with this kit are awful as well and I robbed some other kits for those parts Fred Caddy decals with some kit decals ans some parts box decals Dupli-Color Red and White with Krylon Blue and Model Master Ultra Gloss Clear. Tires from the Revell Penske 66 Vette and wheels from the AMT Sumbeam Tiger kit.

charlie8575 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 A beautifully-executed build. Painting those stripes must be a nightmare. Charlie Larkin
torinobradley Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Awesome! Love seeing the old Trans-Amers. I have the Johan one waiting on a rebuild and will probably do the same wheel/tire swap. I saw a racing mag not too long ago that detailed the car and should have bought it. Anyone have a clue what it was?
Art Laski Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Nice job, Mitch! That's my kind of subject matter and yours looks great. -Art Edited September 18, 2011 by Art Laski
