This was my entry for the Community Build #3. I decided to name the car "KNFUZED" because of the intake and exhaust swap.
The donor kit was a Revell Tweedy Pie that I had. It was missing some parts but I didn't plan to put a windshield on it anyway. The Tube front Axle was fine. I know the straight bar would have been more traditional but it was gone also. The engine is the Small Block Chevy that came in the kit. I had planned on putting a Ross Gibson FE Ford engine in it but that was a no go. It was just to big. Almost looked out of scale.
The Headers are junk yard parts. The intake manifolds are some Chrysler exhaust manifolds turned upside down and then a plenum scratched from styrene. Not sure where the cars came from. I found them in a small baggie in the junk yard.
This was a fun build. I still might detail it a little better down the line, but I am itching to get back to the Challenger 1959.
Thanks for looking in all comments and questions are welcome.
