caine440 Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Nothing really special here. All out of the box but the MAD dist and Slixx decals. Just wanted something easy to get going again at the bench, and I needed it for the collection. Thanks for looking.
AZ Boy Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Beautiful build (as we have come to expect of you) Roger!
JPolli Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Roger Very Nice build. I have this one on my list for future builds. Going to save your PICS for inspiration when I get started on it. Thank you for posting. Jim P.S. Did you raise up the rear end a bit on this build?
caine440 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 Yea, I just thought it looked to low and did not care for it. I took off the bottom molding also. Wish I would have used different front tires now, but I wanted to just build it with the box parts mostly.
johnbuzzed Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 That's a nice build, Roger- but, did the Cragars come with the kit? I have one on my shelf and it's been so long since I last looked at it...
caine440 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 I used what was in the old box on this one, but the mad dist.
W-409 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Great job on this GTX! Very nicely done overall, I think raising the rear end a little was a good thing... The stance looks spot on! Nice detailing in the engine bay as well.
caine440 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Ok. I have been staring at this thing for days now and can't handle the fact I did not see the freaking kit had the wrong wheels so they are getting changed. It just so happens I built a Dick Landy 67 Coronet years ago, and gues what? It has Keystones on it instead of the correct Cargars sooo a Wheel swap will take place tonight
johnbuzzed Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 It does look good with the Cragars... now I'm gonna check my S&M kit.
Force Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) The wheels in my Revell 67 GTX Sox & Martin kits and some issues after that are Keystone Classics. I haven't seen Sox & Martin run Cragar SS wheels on any of their cars...not that I know of anyway, I have mostly seen Keystone Classics on their race cars up until 72-73...they had American Racing Bear Paw rear wheels on the 71 Cuda for a while tho', I really don't know why...maybe they were stronger.
