I've been working on this for a little wile now, had some time to wrap it up this weekend. I didnt care for the kit plastic tires and front wheels, so out came the parts box slicks and I grabbed the front spokes from a testors T-Bucket. I wired the engine ( cant really see it now ) and made some seat belts. Paint is from a GM touch up can. Thanks for looking.

Thanks again to Jacen (futerbat) for the new Tombstone.

Jon, Yours looks great.

Thanks guys.

Shane, nice job. b.t.w was yours molded in black plastic, I ask, because mine came in black plastic

Nope, mine was molded white. Did yours come from the double car tin?

I thought about the drag link, but figured it would look to out of place compared to the rest of the kit front end, and then where do you stop. I've got another one of these, I may get a little more detailed with it. I like the open cockpit idea. I picked up a haulin hurse I'm thinking of building with the next one as a race car/ tow rig. Not really related to the tv show. Probly lots of blacks and reds.

Shane, love the build. That looks like a platinum color with a black wash, am I correct? In any event, it's an exceptionally-clean build, well done!!

It's a general motors color, don't recall the name, but I think it's just called " champagne " ?? Any rate, I wanted more of a brass, antique color more then a "gold". And then lots of black wash, it really made the casting POP !!!I Once it was cleared, it has a little platinum pearl to it. Adds to the antique look I think.

Thanks guys !
