Built by: Jay Lewis in Fridley,
Minnesota, USA
This model was built in
1993 from a three minute glue bomb. The body was painted using House of
Kolors candy pink over silver with a little candy violet fogged in, then
clear coated. After a month dry time the body was sanded and buffed then
hand lettered using One Shot enamel.
When I got the model it
was missing the engine so a small block Chevy from my parts vault was
installed.
The blower, carb and
stacks were liberated from various kits and the engine was lightly
detailed with wire. The headers were scratch built using aluminum
tubing.
The wheels and front tires
were spare parts from other kits while the rear slicks came from the Ice
T. Disk brake detail was added to complete the chassis.
The interior was
detailed with a photo-etched dash and aluminum steering column plus a
little raspberry man from a craft store. The pies were painted and
installed to finish the model.
