The old AMT snap fast kit's getting a bit of an upgrade. Body mold lines ie around windows and doors was nearly non existent and when I finally managed to cut the hood out found it was about 2.5 mm thick. Made some gutter channels for the front guards using a top sportsman floor for the munting huge tubs and rear suspension,Front and rear tires are from the AMT pro street superebee as is the basic engine. Parts box supercharger and hat, resin seats and carbs . Stance is as it sits

Your off to a Great start.

I like the way it's looking.

I don't think having the speakers on the wheel tubs would work realistically tho..

Just a thought. ;):D

Brett, I don't think the pipes will ever get noticed with that paint job stealing the show,lol..again, I've never thought about "fixing" a snap kit. You got me thinking... I got a '65 Coronet that needs alot of help........

Cool project Brett! And the paint job is amazing, a popper as Virgil put it! That wawy yellow divider was a cool idea. I did a Chevy truck with the same colors, maybe a year or so ago. (But it's not finished yet.... :unsure: ) A suggestion: remove them clunky bumper guards, please?! They stick out like a sore thumb...
