Thats a pretty quick build.. These do not require a lot of bench time Brian.. they’re a quick yet simple build .. lots of chrome parts too !! |

Now the real fun begins , detailing it so that it stands out compared to all the rest !  I like the larger tires in those kits compared to the regular Zingers . |

I had one of the Corvettes in my collection, once. Built it very boxstock simple. Then, I (regrettably, now) sold it off.
I've got a CB Freak in the stash, but just haven't found the gumption to rip it open and reconfigure it....
Looking forward to seeing how your capable hands ... um... handle it.

A little progress .. i had some scratch built tires that I cast years ago and started digging them out ... still trying to find the scratch built mag inserts for them .. the kit box said it was a ‘59 Corvette but a single headlight would say no .. lol |

cool tires. That wing looks like the huge wing from the MPC road Runner kit. Wonder if they used the same one?

I thought about that Fletch and I know I have others goodies I could conjur .. but I best stick with the kit supplied goodies as I’m racing the clock as it is 😁🏁 I was going gangbusters and a couple unforeseen things pop up that demanded adult time.. lol
