Here's another one that I built when I was a youngster (about 13 or so) right around the 1983 time frame. It was my very first car model I do remember that. Despite being a beginners build and a rough one at that, it has survived 33 years and is in my display case almost as it was when I built it. The engine is long gone and the passenger seat in the interior is loose but other than that it's all there. A couple of years after I built it I robbed a set of wheels from a "Street Demons" 41 Willys kit that I had just because I couldn't stand the rear wheels that came on it originally. I merely took this one out of the case and repaired the suspension so that the body doesn't rest on top of the rear tires any longer and re-adhered the rear bumper and "dolled her up" a little bit for some decent photo shots. This one is 100% left as is from long ago in regards to modeling skills but I'm glad I have it around. Looking back it's hard for me to believe that I got the paint to go on this well. lol
What you see here is as it was 30 years ago with no modifications or upgrades:
