My brother and I went halves on this car around 1972ish?? Paid $65 for it. It really was a heck of a nice care, wish I had it today!!
I bought the R&R resin kit 5 or 6 years ago for $53. It was one of the first resin kits I bought. Since then I've acquired close to a dozen resin kits of cars I just can't find in plastic. When I first got it I thought it looked pretty good, but now that I've started building it,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ooooooooooooh !!!!
Many I've bought since are much better quality than this. The outside of the body looks good, but inside the body, under the tub, underside of the hood, under the hood is just plain ugly, top side of the chassis,,,,,,,,,, it's just plain awful !!!
This puppy is going to be a LOT OF WORK !!!
It suggest a 56 Ford as a donor for the engine etc. Looking at the firewall, inner fenders, radiator, it is exactly the same as the Ford kit [it shouldn't be!]. It's so bad I've decided to splice the Ford under hood with the resin,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it's gonna be FUN !!! lol
I'll try to post as many pictures as I can along the way. Wish me luck!

Looks good to me. That one might be a challenge but it's an interesting subject you cannot find in kit form. I have a couple of different body styles of the 51 Chevy and I completed a 4-door sedan of them. Needed a lot of thinning, cleaning, adjusting but was a funny experience. Good luck for yours!

Thanks Guys,
It is going to take some work! Right now I'm building a bigger workbench top and doing some rearranging. So it will be a week or so before I get back to it.
So far the engine bay splice is looking like it might work out ok.

Thanks Jv,
It was a beautiful car.
It was a lot of work & frustrating at times, but it looks better than I had hoped considering what I had to work with! I surely wish it could have been better, but I'm happy its done. Finally!!!
