after some very good racing we have a winner ! The detail on this build is second to none !!! Without further a do, your winner !!! Joe , your Hobby Lobby gift card is on its way !!! June 2019 BRotM - Blue by David Keim, on Flickr Started out with these two kits and built a Pro Street version between the two.
I've always had an eye for Revell's "Street Demons" series back in 1983 but I don't really care for the gasser look that a few of 'em had...……..this one in particular. In staying with the theme I set out to change things up a little bit in the way of a slight color change up, stance, powertrain and interior.
Powertrain : Came from the Revell 1968 Hemi Dart kit with upgrades to the ignition, fuel and throttle linkage systems.
Wheels: From Future Attractions. I had my machine shop at work cut the rear wheels in half due to the fact that they were just too dang wide to use with the tires I had.
Paint: Testors Icy Blue Lacquer, Testors White Lightning Lacquer and Testors Wet Look Clear all decanted and shot through an airbrush.
Decals: Speedway Decals
Interior Shots:
Additional Engine Shots:

Thanks rinat for the comments. It's actually just Demon II as a tribute to the original Revell Street Demon kits of the 80's. The license plates are period correct for Texas from about a decade ago. For example:
