I've had the treasure from R&R Vacuum Craft for about 15 years. It's one of those kits you really have to be in the proper mood to touch.
The kit is basic. If you have never had an R&R kit, they are a labor of love and a test of patience to complete. I sanded the upper body for almost an hour to get it level and flat. Than took a micro router to cut a lip for the floor pan to lay in. Cut a groove for the upper pod it fit on the fin and than fit the outer pods on the upper fin and pinned them with .020 wire. Rounded the holes for the fans and cut a recess for each of them to fit intoNow I need to grab one bucket seat from the AMT 1949 Ford coupe for the interior.
The pods are blended in and shaped. I reshaped the "intakes to fit the 1959 Caddy parking light lenses in. The lower body now has the hundreds of pin holes filled in and the fin squared up on it's edges. I have almost 40 hours to get to this point. Floor plan is up on wheels finally cut down from the reissued AMT Corvair kit.. Paul
