Cheers Ray. I've got heaps of resin 14/71 blowers and a few normal ones. Just wish this kit came with a better scoop and carbs? IDK it just look weird. I want to do a black motor anyway so a black blower will suit.

I might even build the Roth kit before my CM entry hmmm 5 1/2 months to go......

Packed the Cali wheels kit up and painted the interior on the Roth, I'll give it a week to gas before using the flat clear. Really want to build a 57 on these wheels but I don't think it'll be this kit :?

Agree, that kit with the opening doors would be better suited as a mild custom or everyday cruiser with a bit of detail... ;)

Use a plain jane kit and slam it with those wheels......black / BMF for sure drool

I have the Boyd AMT 57 kit. The hoppin hydros monster blvds are the same size as the kit wheels so that's where they will end up. This will be built the same as the box art on the kit I had 20 years ago. I want either Corvette areo wheels or I'll use 19" centrelines.

Well detailed then popcorn
I like those engines that have heaps of detail, good for a dio workshop scene, rocker covers off exposing the valves, heads etc ;)

Pretty much caught up now. I need to wait for the flat clear to gas and can't start any chassis work until my wheels get here. Anyone know what box art I'm using as inspiration???
