    As a model builder, that's what makes it fun. Creative license. Don't change a thing man, it is bad ass.

    Heck man, always another kit you know. The next build can be correct but this one is great just the way it is.

    Nice build, I have a few 3 windeer bodies from George Z. back east, who casted that body a long time ago. Makes me want to get them out and work on them.

    was not bad ..but i would not buy a seconds again .. will only buy first good run

    this one had a warped cowl warp trunk lid sunk in roof way to much work .. about 100 hours worth of bondo and sanding to get it ready for paint//... p.s i am looking for more big scale resin stuff

    Nice model, very realistic looking and would like to see some more detailed pictures, maybe on the model car Sunday?

    Also learning quite a bit about the different categories back in the late 50s and early 60s which has really become a favorite of mine lately, although I don't know a lot about the different classes and am eager to learn.

    I attached a picture of a car that I would like to do something similar with my 1/25 model. The caption says it's from 57 and the car has B/A on it. What type of engine could I car like that have run? Could you run a Flathead? Or would it run something like the early hemi? Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I thought as long as we were talking about the different classes...

    1957, and four header pipes with the two in the center close together? Its a sbc or olds. hemi or Ardun would be equally spaced, cad, pontiac and flatty would be 3 pipes per side.

    Great kit, just wrong class designation. I agree with those who ruled D/A.

    I didn't dislike you or your model before. I'm very impressed with your modeling skills, and the detail on your car is amazing. Just was trying to help you get it all correct, so the whole project was spot on.

    I've built a few 1/8 scale rods, some of them resin and I know how much goes into them. You did a great job on that model.
