    I did not like the kit supplied driveshaft,so I used a brass tube and plastic U joints.Much better! 1529112773249-2079435146.jpg

    The tires needed white walls,so I used the old acrylic flat white and circle template kit.Works well! [​IMG]

    Did this '65 Galaxie over 40 yrs. ago. Utilized 22 cal. shells for the exhaust dumps and ball point pen springs for the rear suspension. 20180616_142118.jpg 20180616_142057.jpg 20180616_142153.jpg 20180616_142205.jpg

    1529187760052-1067080827.jpg you topped my effort. These were side mount headers made into under car style. They were drilled out for racing. Somewhere along the line I added the street hookups.

    .......I just remembered that I also used the ink tube from that same ball point pen for the front axle. I was apparently much more innovative in my younger days.:D:rolleyes:

    Hard to believe that I kept this nearly 40 years. My thing as a kid was to buy multiple models of the same thing. This way I had extra parts, sometimes as cool as the completed car.
    There's that driveshaft!

    Thanks, it was one reason why I bought more than one. Another was to get enough pieces to separate the flip front end. It was a model of what I wanted my car to look like. Back then, a '67 kit was not available, so I painted this '66 Granada Gold with automotive touch up rattle can paint.
