What if...

...I built one OOB?
We'll never know.  Although it may look like I did this one has had the wheels and the induction changed.
'65 Stepside built as Revell intended apart from wheels and tyres from a Mobius Batmobile ('66 Barris version - accept no substitutes) and with the small block chevy engine equipped with Sprint Car fuel injection from www.thepartsbox.com.
Even the paint and decals are as per the box art except for the white roof and grille surround.
Paint is Ford Tropicana Green decanted from a rattle can using the "big nail" technique after the nozzle clogged.
Oh, and I did a RHD conversion.

Thanks folks.
I've been slack finishing cars as i get carried away with modifications.
I'm trying to fix that by knocking out a few closer to stock builds.

Nice pickem-up Fred, like the sprint car injection, and a sweet color on it too.
