Ira Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) I have been working on this one for awhile...it started as an 1/16th scale AMT 34 Ford, Cobra and 57 Chevy. The HEMI is from a vintage Street Charger. The Headers are modified Revell pipes. I should have it done later this week. The interior was sectioned and modified with 58 Chevy Parts. Dashboard is from the 57 Chevy. Seats are from a Countach. Edited November 5, 2011 by Ira

Ira Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 Finished the nose. I added amber lights to the ends of the headlight bullets to light up the HEMI!
Ira Posted November 16, 2011 Author Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) I am finishing up all the last minute details now. I am making Flame Tail Lights from "Ceramic Christmas Tree Light Decorations". I bought these at a ceramic/crafts store many years ago. I put each plastic flame light in a drill chuck and filed them down to the right size. Almost finished!!! Finished photos are coming soon.
