Harry P. Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Looks pretty good, but a factory stock car would have a rear-view mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Looks pretty good, but a factory stock car would have a rear-view mirror. Interior, yes. Side mounted, not necessarily. They were still optional in '62. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 That's a nice model. Great job. Did the AMT kits come with side view mirrors? I don't recall having built it some 20 years ago... Nice paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemiles22 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Thanks for the kind compliments guys, very much appreciated! The kit did come with the mirror, although I'm having a hard time finding it. As far as the color I'm pretty sure it's a mix of Pontiac engine blue mixed with something a little darker, I painted the body last march so it's tough to remember. I'll get some outdoor shots today, I noticed some of my pictures are pretty blurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Very nice period build-Mirror Police not withstanding. Not a criticism but a question-did those Holleys come in the kit? I'm fairly sure 409's of the day used Carter AFB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemiles22 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 No those are aftermarket, I wasn't too crazy about the ones in the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardik Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 That is very nice. Not withstanding the fact that I'm very biased about anything with a 409. Speaking of which; I hate to keep sending you outside, but could we see a clearer shot of that beautiful 'W' ? The detailing looks nice even in the semi-fuzzy shots.
