So here's my version so far. It's the OLD AMT Kit.

Dodge GTS Blue for the lower half, and Black on the upper half. Haven't decided if I will do any light graphics or not.

Doing some Pegasus wheels which are being modified by cutting them in half, painting the spokes black and putting the back part on the front to give them an offset for a RWD car rather then the FWD look they had.

Here are a few updated pics.

I have the parts of the wheels painted I want painted. Going to use Micro Krystal Clear to glue them inside the tires.

Have the BMF on and the small graphic stripes I decided to add. I'm leaving hte long front ones off as I feel it would detract from the look I am going for. However the rears neither detract nor add to it really, and there was a tiny scratch I couldn't fix without stripping so I covered it with a decal and you can't tell. Looks good with them on though. Still trying to decide what to do for my custome plates. Thinking 1BAD67. I used to make and sell license plates locally but that particular shop went under. So did another local shop. Leaves one left, they've been selling some obviously local stuff, so I might pick back up again.

Thanks, I haven't had alot of time to work on this but I've spent some time with the engine figuring out what I wanted to do. Was thinking twin turbo but settled on a centrifugal supercharger. Still in the process of making the SC, but it's about done. The hardest part is going to be figuring out mounting the pulleys since I'm not doing the plastic belts. So all pulleys need to be securely mounted. I'll get it figured out though how I want to do it. The other part is, that intake may be low but it's still too tall to clear the hood. I haven't been able to find a cowl induction hood to fit so it will probably be hoodless.

OOPS So I suppose it might help if I tossed up the photos of the engine...............
