Got this kit from Marshie awhile back. Thought it was about time to do something with it, so a recent CB sounded like a good excuse to get it out of the box and on the shelf. Only problem is it's a curbside (well it is now anyway), with no mods and no engine it was my only hope of getting it completed before next year. Or the next.

Stocker then box stock, other than lowering and a set of Fat141's favorite style of wheels. No scratchbuilding or fancy stuff, but (rather sadly) the only completed build for 2011. That said, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Thanks for lookin Cool

Wow thanks all for the comments, really appreciate it.
Yea Adam, back to my long term project now, who knows when I'll finish that. Next year I reckon Rolling Eyes
Thanks Marshie, and thanks again for the kit. Haven't forgotten your flathead headers, I know they've been a long time coming, I'm working on some extra things to make up for the long wait Smile

Nice job - this kit needs to be lowered as stock ride height makes it look like a fourby.

So where's the engine gone? The BBC Revell stuck in this kit is a beauty.

Zenrat, the engine is a spare one now, can't have too many of those. It'll go in another long term project later down the line Razz
