This was a gluebomb that I got from Todd. Like all the early Revell kits, they have plastic so brittle you cant look at it sideways without it breaking . I wanted it to look box art stock, and I was able to get close with the sponsor decals ; the pinstripe decals I believe were from the Revell 48 Ford custom kit and the gauge decals came from the parts box.I left the drag chute off ;the instructions point to the trunk as the location, but it was supposed to go on the lower panel where I had already clearcoated a decal and the chute wont sit on the curve of the trunk. The highlights for me were the fabricating new door hinges that actually worked, and the flip nose which needed some modifying. The low part was I was unable to make the kit steer again as the original builder glued the spindles and there was no way to repair them. Still , with all the heartaches ( and quite a bit of swearing) it really was a lot of fun, and thanks to Todd it got me out of a building slump !
