SPA Modeler

I have a couple of those distributors. Very nice. I like that PE fan!

Those are really fine looking engine details!

I love the engine detail you do. This build will be another masterpiece Joe

Believe me.....the chrome on this car doesn't hold a candle to the one I did a couple of years back. This one.......was a complete nightmare to chrome....

What a result. Beautiful Joe....

Thanks you guys!! Hoping to get through this one with minimal trouble......or was!!!

Well .....given the fact that I've built one of these somewhere around 15 years ago and I remembered that the stance was a nose high look.......I decided to do a mock up to check everythign out and it was just what I expected.....it has a nose high look to it. I have a spare AMT GT-350 in the stash so I cut the necessary sprues from the trees and mocked everything up just to check. Man.....there's gonna need to be some fancy footwork to straighten this out if I'm going to get this thing to look like 1.) the box top (which is severely misleading if a builder thinks that this kit will build up just like the picture) and 2.) look like I want it to look personally.

On a couple of other notes.....

1.) Pay close attention to the attachment wheel retainers (that I have marked "R" for rear and "F" for front. They are different sizes meaning the rear retainer has a larger hole for the axle then the front does for the spindle.

2.) The box top shows Firestone Wide Oval Tires and the kit has these Super Sports instead. Not a game changer but hey.....put what's ON the box IN the box. C'mon!!! Same goes for the stance. Just sayin'.

The OOB stance:

Mine was nose high too. I have another in the stash, looking forward to how you fix it.

He’s accelerating… it’s weight transfer…. Just pose it on a raceway with smoke coming from the rear tires…

Ain’t got no wings.

This. I have one on order
