Wild Willie Borsch "Winged Express" Altered Rod
With a couple kits sidelined for various reasons, i decided to tackle this one. A vintage kit boxed from 1996. This is one of several kits I acquired from Handiable (Brent) a couple years ago.

Well done on an oldie but a goodie!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Wished I had researched more on this Altered Rod. I'm seeing a lot of inaccuracies from the kit compared to the real thing. If I ever come across another kit, I want to build it with more accurately.

Still a cool looking drag car.

Looks good Tom. Must have been a wild ride - that little hotrod ran low 7s!
Thanks,
