YES!!! Very nice. The turbo routing is really excellent. Did the parts come that way or did you have to modify it yourself?
Give a lowdown on what kit was the "donor" and how everything fell together.

It is a complete kit, w/ decals, no donor's besides the turbo hose which was my own evergreen plastic rod creation  But all I can say about this resin kit is Preparation, Preparation, and oh did I say Preparation? But thats with any resin.... you know?  -Clean/sand -Sand/ Clean -Test fit -Prime -sand -Prime -Paint white then yellow -decal -Clear -let sit -Detail painting -and glue rest of parts on But really not much to it It really needs those Firestone's to help the over all look. |

"Pelican" Joe Leonard would be proud! Nice job on that sucker! Looks great! Fred Cady has a sheet I just got from him....Number 183 that has Firestone on it. A nice sheet too. Thanks for sharing! What did you use for the front suspension?
Best to you and again, nice job!

Sounds like fun. I've got a 1972 winner from Bill Jorgensen and when I get brave, I'll build it.

What did you use for the front suspension? It was part of the kit.  and one more thing that didn't come in the kit was the rear suspension bars that connect to the back of the chassis. |

Awesome! How abut the tire decals from Michael? I got both sets, but haven't checked them lately. I know that there are Firestones on one sheet, but can't remember the size/era.
VRM makes an awesome Vintage tire markings set, also.

Bill, you are probably thinking of Speedline. VRM doesn't have a set of tire markings that I know of.  This sheet is made by Cartograf so you know it's good. It has about every type of tire decal from the '60's to the mid '70's. Nic |
