41 Plymouth.

Post by arni »

I first built this kit in 1986 and when I saw it again had to get two of them..

Doing this one with independant rear suspension.

It has a V10 from a Dodge viper,so it has mildly increased power!

The engine in place with manifolds.

I agree about looking forward to this build.
Generally the fit on amt kits is not that good, I have built several and have 1 or 2 waiting.
I wish, that I knew what was doing!

Very nice. I like the engine upgrade which should come as a terrible shock to any future drag race competition.
