hello everyone! my first whip here! It's not much but it's all I could do right now, A lot of it is scratch built. I'm Hoping to have more up soon, I Wish I could do more But It's alot to do. But anyway you can kind of see the motor, it is a AMT Ertl ford Thunderbird kit motor in it, Mixed with the revell kit motor, Don't worry. The revell motor parts are scaled down to fit it, I Don't really care about the out of scale part. It's not that big of a deal to me, It has a five pulley drive set on it. resin Holly carb, And it's going to be wired, the dash bored is scratch built out of .020 sheet plastic, Sorry for the BAD photos.
