That's looking pretty sharp there Ray.  Color looks great.

Almost done with the engine .

That is looking great. Excellent detail work! Is the bracket for the alternator part of the kit, or did you make it?

[Oldmopars]

That is part of the kit. Despite the lack of chrome and 2 part plastic tires, it is a really nice kit. It does have a lot of good details and is every bit as good as the Revell kits of the time, other than the tires. 

[cobraman]

Thanks guys. And yes as Scott said the bracket is part of the kit pieces.

I remember making this a thousand years ago..didn't come out this well for sure!

[cobraman]

My best friend and I went in on one about the same time you made yours ! I dont think we ever got it put together.

Saw this on Amazon, seems like a fair price to me. I have one of the motorized versions that didn’t turn out so swell ?

That's a great price. I paid more for mine. If I room I would be tempted to pu another.

Keep in mind the text says lots of chrome. Unless old stock there is NO chrome.

I have purchased 3, 2 from the same Amazon listing and one from EBay. All 3 came with no chrome. As long as you know before you buy, $60 is a great price. 
I am tempted to buy one more, but still have one unbuilt. Lots of things you can do with these.

Wow , your REALLY making this a show piece !  The color is perfect

Yeah, I wish they would release the "Tall T" version of this kit... You could build a super charged version using parts from the exterminator dragster kit....?? 

That dragster has some GREAT parts....?
