Dave Mikrut Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 The engine is from the AMT Buick Riviera. The carbs and manifold were from, if I remember correctly, the old AMT Vicky? I did use some black wash to bring out some of the detail on those kool karbs! I grafted on a Powerglide transmission from my parts box. I'm going to hafta dirty up those headers! They were made from extra AMT Double Dragster header cut apart to fit the nailhead arrangement At this point I realized the fanbelt assembly from the kit was inadequate.... So I fabbed up some pullies and made a belt out of a mylar hair tie. Look any better? I had to make all new motor/trans mounts... Here it is with the engine setting in the frame. Notice, I've changed my mind on the headers, I wanted this thing to be streetable remember? These will be capped headers with streetable exhaust added to them later.
patrol52 Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 That's looking really good, but there is no way those headers would get capped if it were mine !
