D. Battista Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi everyone... More old stuff...This is Revell's 1999 issue.. I lowered the rear suspension, used the wheels from AMT's Studebaker Avanti kit, parts box tires, Shabo dry transfer white letters on the rear tires, hand painted the fronts. I used the engine from Revell's '70 Chevelle 454..cause I thought the engine that came in the kit looked too small... Flocked the interior, fabricated a on the dash tach from a distributor. White automotive touch up paint from a rattle can. Hand masked flame graphics done with auto paint as well, de-canted and sprayed through an airbrush. Thank you for looking...

Greg Myers Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Just when you thought a kit couldn't be built in any way respectable. and Dave shows us the way. Very nice, clean, innovative BUILD. and show us the engine too. Edited March 27, 2014 by Greg Myers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
