For those who didn't follow the build its here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69587&page=15 .Started out life as the revell kit and it has underwent more modifications than I initially thought my skills would allow but after 11 and a half months I finished her. the paint is Testors OCL with at least 4 or 5 coats of clear. the engine is from the kit but I added ignition wire, scratch built a MSD Blaster SS coil, after market dominator, scratch built A/N fittings with detail master braided line, completely scratch built fuel regulator, completely scratch built Moroso vacuum pump, completely scratch built puke tank, completel scratch built race water pump, completely scratch built 10 point roll cage, completely scratch built tubs in the interior and on the chassis, after market cowl hood, scratch built parachute mount and safety cord, and way more to list. I highly recommend checking out the build from start to finish if you like it.

Beautiful job Jason. I followed this one from start to finish, and I must say I believe you experienced all the highs and lows of model building on this project, but you certainly have something to be extremely proud of in the end, so KUDOS my young friend, looks FANTASTIC, keep on building!!! :D

Awesome job you've done! Shouldn't the tow vehicle be a Chrysler product also? ;)

well the only truck I got is the elcamino, and you cant beat the reliability of a 396 BBC :)

Nice detail work Jason. It's great to see it done!

Thank you! I'm glad that it is finished too, I have put a lot of time and effort into it so finishing it is a relief!

Awesome job on it, love the color!

Thank you, this was the first time taking sand paper to a paint job so it was scary but in the end very worth it!
