his build all started around 3 months ago for a friend of my son Joseph. He received this kit for a birthday gift and after coming over to the house, asked me to build it. The kit is an old mold and is quite crude in quality but I think I managed to work some of the bugs out of it anyways. I didn't do a whole lot of research on this car and the avid enthusiast will be able to pick up on that pretty quick but still I'm pretty happy with the turn out. I've just about perfected my painting method on autos and I got ALOT of practice with bare metal foil. Thank you to all who followed or commented along the way with this build. A very special thanks goes out to Mike Sharp for supplying the wheels needed for this car.
Engine photo and drivers side photos coming soon. The engine photo had a dang dog hair in the middle of it and I forgot the drivers side photo shot.
Now............onto the 454 SS build....

This is great. It would be a good showcase for something in the rear bed as well. I predict this bad boy sneaking in and doing some damage on a last man standing.

Beautiful build. It was getting a couple of built up truck models from one of Dad's mates that got me hooked! Hopefully it will be inspiration for another young guy!
