rmvw guy Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 My plan was to go box stock again. To my surprise not all the parts were in the box, no 6 banger. I was going to use a '53 Corvette engine and found another box of missing engine parts. Moving on to the 427 engine included in kit I thought maybe a carb version. The more I looked at the stock hood I had already painted I noticed marks showing through the hood for a hood scoop, which I usually hate. A high-school ride cheep and simple. The hood turned out to be a nightmare, then I noticed the clear hood. It fit perfect! Okay so I could paint it, no now I have to wire the engine. I don't recommend doing this after the model is already built. So much for simple, it took me about twice as long to finish this one but, in the end I am happy with my high-school ride. We were the Southside Rebels, no longer a high-school after this last year, a tribute.
rmvw guy Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 Oh yeah the underside, no mufflers, I like 'em loud! Or at least I did in high-school. This could have been my ride after I lost my license maybe just at the local dragstrip, after all it was pretty much run wha you brung back then, they had a class for everything including your parents car.
rmvw guy Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 Thanks guys. There doesn't seem to be much interest out there on this one, I know, it's kind of plain. Maybe more graphics? Or maybe some more color? Let me know what you think. Maybe just too easy. The next one I am doing some cutting on, a '36 Ford.
rmvw guy Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 Thanks for all the "likes" and "nice" comments, his is what keeps me going.
DeeCee Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Pretty cool ol' school there mate, i like it. Clear hood is a bonus too.
