Guest Darkside Customs Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Seems like everyone is building these lately... I'm goin with this one....this is for a buildoff on Layitlow.... So far I've shaved the trim, gutters, handles, and hood.... It's been skirted and front and rear pans molded in....

rmvw guy Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 This kit is another of my favorites, I may even like it better than the Revell kit because it has a really nice flathead and an opening trunk that really works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
