Slotto Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 This is the Resto Rods release of the AMT kit. I wanted that Street Rod look and had to use the Pegasus wheels and tires. This required wheel tubs. Once I articulated the front wheels and got the ride height where I wanted, i had to rebuild the inner fender wells so the wheels could be positioned. I also wanted a 396 power plant. I cast this in resin. This is the 1st time using a return spring and a throttle cable. It's a tight fit in the engine bay so I had to make my own headers. I used soldier for this. No room for the battery. I'm saying it's in the trunk. The exhaust was a hybrid parts box and 12 AWG copper wire. I went after the interior with Apple Barrel craft paint and a chrome pen. The exterior paint is gloss black craft maint mixed 2:1 with alcohol shot at 20 psi. The clear is Duplicolor automotive clear. Thanks for looking! How the sausage was made 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
