Looks great Ramone. Where's the rest of it? ;D I painted the body today, last 3 coats of pearl clear, finished with a coat of satin clear for a real smooth suede finish. Further i used 2 whole cans of oven cleaner to de chrome the whole chassis and numerous other parts. I will post some pics later on this week when I find some time. This kit is a real treat, with real working suspension and steering. And o yes it's motorized!!!! The only thing I don't like about it are the decals, lots of stars and peace signs!! I had to raid some of my other big scale kits to find some suitable replacements. |

awesome job on the motor Ramone!!!!.........This is going to be a sweet build when it is finished!!!...........I am glad to hear that the kit itself is really neat.....I agree with you about the decals......that is why I have always over looked this kit because of the "Flower Power" decals.......Can't wait to see how you build this one!! ;D ;D

I need to get back on mine some time soon - I have a blown SBC with a Torq-Flite for it, but the gauntlet has been thrown down, and I'm going to have to scratchbuild a Comp Coupe (digger) chassis for it OUT OF BRASS.

Oh wow ... I love the detail and never would have guessed that's a Lindberg kit! I never was a huge fan of Lindberg stuff (soft on detail, or sometimes just plain crummy) but that looks really good!

The body comes in two halves, though, with a monstrous seam line to clean up.  Same chassis as the Diamond Duster. |
