I finished this car yesterday. The last build for 2013. I had a lot of fun researching and building this car. I remember seeing the 1:1 car in the showroom back in '66. I hope ya like what you see. Here are some pics of the finished car. I made copies of the headers from the 68 Firebird kit and modified the frame so they would fit. This kit doesn't have any drag parts in it and I needed these parts to make the drag car. Thanks fer lookin. Dan

Thanks guys, and grandpa, those pictures are a couple that I used for references when I started this build. Although, these pictures are of the restored car, it is the original 66 GTO Tin Indian. There are a couple of differences like the Gold stripe on the bottom of the sides and the one decal on the bottom of the rear fenders weren't on the original car, but that's Ok with me. I really had a great time building this car. Dan

Dang Dude this Indian is KILLER !! Where'd ya get the decals ? Thanks C for the kind words. I was told that they are Fred Cady decals and I got them on e-bay. They are two part decals and very thin. They come apart fairly easy and I had to fix a couple of them when I installed them.
