Irvin Arter started this one, did all the painting, then never assembled it. He gave it to me back in 2005 to finish up. Well, she's almost thru the lights. I swapped out the kit's front axle for the straight tube from the Hemi Under Glass. It's got a wider track width, and bumps the nose up a little higher too. I put some eBay injector stacks on an AMT '70 Impala injection manifold and added two racing bucket seats from some Revell '68 Firebird kits. Wait 'til you guys see the black paint Irvin laid down on the body! Look for finished pix "On the Shelf" this weekend...

Thanks all!
Irvin did the wheels too. They look to be Miss Deal mags painted with Metalizer.
Duane - Yes, I think this and the Tempest are the same kit underneath. The Falcon differs a little in that it has a transverse front spring, not parallel leafs.
