This is the third piece of a seven piece mini-dio that I am doing.
When I saw this kit , I was very excited! There is a soft spot in my heart for the "ugly" '73 to'77 A bodies. And I wanted to fill a void in my little collection. Plus, I am a fan of stock-cars. I ordered it up, and was disappionted when it came. I am GLAD to have it, but as a kit, what a piece of *&%#^ ! This is probably the worst kit I have ever built. I started on it right away, and the further that it went, the more I started to hate it. I had to finish it for the "big picture", but it was a struggle. The fun-factor went completely away. I'm sure you all have experienced that. But, I trudged through.
I put in some upgrades, wheels/tires, mid '90s NASCAR small-block, dash, etc. But I wanted to stay a little true to the kit, so I used the OE chassis (YUK), and suspension, and here you have it. Thanks for looking, and enjoy the photos!
