smellyfatdude Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 This was only the second kit I completed, after taking up modelling as an adult. Ten bucks on ePay, and still sealed. Since I'd built this same kit as a kid, my goal was simple. 1. Build it the way I'd wished I could've back then 2. make it look exactly like the one on the box, which is what made me want to buy it when I was eleven. Duplicolor white lacquer over Testors Fiery Orange, and a 421 Pontiac from a ' 62 Catalina. Even chromed the windshield frame, as per the one on the box. But more of a backyard built street racer, as opposed to a strip car.
peekay Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Nice work! Always liked that box illustration and you really nailed it. Pontiac mill looks right at home in there.
Tom Geiger Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Nice build of an old favorite. I have that original release box too. I bought it back then for the same reason as you did!
ChevyCoupe41 Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Very Nice lookin Chevy! That Pontiac engine fots perfectly to it. Also like that paint job. Nice Job!
Badluck 13 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Awesome lookin' Chebbie!!!!,and I must agree the Poncho under the hood looks right at home!
