This is insanely good! Wow.

Thanks Lyle! Hopefully I can get the front half of that line finished up today, finish the R/H rear line and start on the stand off retaining straps for the lines.

Ok I've got the fuel line formed and laid in place. Rear tires are now on as well as front rotor bearing caps.

To recap....

This is what the kit boxing has for the chassis....

and here's where I'm at right now.

With rear tire/ wheels installed and fronts test fitted into place....

Still gotta install the exhaust system and a few other things on the underside but we're getting closer.

Just picked this bad boy up off of Ebay....

Two more "Street Demons" kits to go.....

Image

Funny thing about this kit and another reason I want it. These are the only pictures of ANY model I've got from the early years. Here's my Revell "Street Demons" 41 Willys about 30 years ago ....

Don't ask about the display or the quality. Ha ha!!! I guess it was my best shot at early photography with a really crappy camera.

Had to get something done on this puppy. After removing the tons of flash that this cab/ front clip had, it was time to primer it. Will be moving on to the doors next.
