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.
