Well, I've had the itch lately to build a vintage quartermiler. I was about to bring the Revell Hawaiian Charger flopper to the bench, but this old super stocker kept grabbing my eye. Since it's been buried in the stash since sometime in the mid to late nineties, I put the Charger on hold, and will be giving it a go with this one.
I've started doing some research on this car, but haven't found much yet. Maybe someone can help me here, if I have my facts straight, the kit supplied side pipes are wrong, as I thought S/S ran cutouts with with factory exhaust running down through at least the mufflers? Since the kit also has the factory exhaust, this is something I would like to replicate, given it would be correct. I won't be looking to make this car 100% correct and will be ok with some inaccuracies, but do want to make a reasonably accurate model. Any other info, tips, or suggestions are welcome. I do have some Dupli-Color GM Bright Red lacquer that I believe should make for a decent stand in for the Roman Red exterior color.
First up though, I need to make some repairs to the body. Both the A and C pillars on the drivers side are broken (been like that since I bought the kit), but should be an easy fix. The post on the rear of the wing window will need to be replaced with some evergreen, as some of the material is missing.
I have to work this weekend, but I'll try to get some progress pics up soon.
