Revell Roadster with the "hemi" from the 5 window using headers from my parts box plus valve covers from the same source (AMT '70 Super Bee maybe?).
Wheels are Fujimi and the roof is a combination of Revell '53 'vette & scratchbuilding.

Neat, I like the camshaft up the front Very Happy Where are the wires from? They look almost like aluminium/PE ones.

Great looking rod Fred. You do such a good job on these. I just wondered how it would look with white walls? Those wire wheels look fab - where did you find them?

I think white walls are overdone on rods.
Wheels are Fujimi Boranni and are chromed styrene with rubber tyres. A mere $14 a set from Hobby Link Japan (inc postage).

Note that the pic on the box has the proportions completely wrong

Very nice...where'd you get the injection of good taste? Very Happy

Some taller tyres on the back would really improve the look though IMHO.

Thanks folks.
Bryce - smaller fronts would probably be the go but finding some to match the quality of the (rubber) rears would be tough.
