I've tried to keep this traditional. I prefer them like that. As this was only my 2nd car, I wanted to try all sorts of new stuff, like wired distributors and real rubber coolant hoses This was my 1st flame job and the 1st time I've used BMF. Paint is Tamiya spray can. Flames are deep metallic blue, with 2 other shades of blue fading to the rear. I hope this is up to the standard required here...

ONLY yer second car...Well done. I love it.
I think this is the first time I have ever seen spotlights and a blower on the same car. You totally pulled it off. Its like a kustom hotrod!

this is one very nice build! the only thing killing it that i see is the centerline wheels and the scoop. i know you mean well and don't take this wrong...but i must delete the pictures to keep the ball rolling straight. if you want, you can post this on my other forum where all builds of all kinds are welcome? drasticplastics.proboards53.com/index.cgiif i may suggest? the wheels.....if they had been steel wheels , hub caps, cragar mags, tru spoke wire wheels, torque thrusts or something older than 1970...the car would pass. the scoop is not that big of a deal.

I kinda had a feeling the rims were no good. Ah, well....I finally saw a car before it got crushed.

I saw this on MCM a while ago and I still love it even though it doesn't fit in. Excellent work!
