My next will be a rebuild I did a several years ago and done a sloppy job on it. I kept looking at it no my shelf over the years and saying to myself, man this car needs to be rebuilt from scratch soon lol...  I didn't take pictures before... it's molded in black and I didn't paint  the breaking down of the car. sorry about that...   |

Are you going to use the Potvin blower setup this engine has?

I thought I would try re-chroming the body parts myself using Alclad II gloss black base and Chrome lacquer... The original chrome was in very bad shape.  |

I'm not even sure the Blower available with new engine kit would actually stick thru the hood opening if cut out.... thinking-hard-smiley-emoticon |

If you can get new kit at a reasonable price it's a nice kit to build. I've seen this kit "USED" on ebay. I'm gonna have to build me a Mopar after this one.. |

They look good though. |

It's not very often i throw my arms in the air, but this kit made me do it!! Nothing fitted,
so i turned into my Busted 57, all smashed up version.
I hope you can do something with it mate.

Come to think of it, that's probably why I didn't finish mine. But that was 25 years ago and I wasn't as comfortable with my modeling skills either. Believe me, I think I've dealt with more difficult models in recent times. lol |

That's not bad at all Steve. It only gets better with practice. You'll blow yourself away with the results you'll achieve the more experienced you get with this stuff.
