This is one of two model kits my sister found at a flea market in PA back in August of this year and sent to me. The other is a AMT ‘55 Chevy Cameo Pick Up.
I didn’t post progress pics because I was working on 3 different kits at the same time. I finally got this one done last night and is out of my hair. The kit:
The finished build....
The only trouble spot I had with this kit was installing the Steering shaft/gear box. It was impossible to fit it in the crowded engine bay. No matter how hard I tried to squeeze it in, I ended up breaking the delicate part. Screw it.... I’m not gonna see it anyways.
