SMBC Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) This was kind of a labor of love, I started with the MPC Pinto kit and widened the body and moved the cutout in the hood back. The hood scoop was changed later in the final build, The chassis is a tube chassis built around the stock interior tub, then moved the engine location back. The chassis was kit bashed and big slicks tucked under the rear end. The ride height and stance were adjusted as the model was built.

W-409 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 That paint job looks like glass! Really nice work with it, also the decals are looking great. I like that shade of silver on Front Wheels, too, and your engine detailing is spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
