Still the 80s - Now in Street rod form

[automodelermag]

Believe it or not, the kit used here is the misshapen Buttera 34 ford. I started this after highschool and finished it in college in 1985 or so. I hade no idea the base kit was to small. Stretching the nose helped. The chassis is a scratchbuilt rescue from another model that my dog chewed the nose off of.  The engine block came from there too. Scratchbuilt injectors and nitrous system made from twist tie wire add to the fun. The obviously hand painted squiggle graphic puts it right in the 80s. Thanks for looking.

  That is some pretty dang clean work on that engine Scott. Love what you did with all of the kit bashing and outsourcing from other builds to make all of this happen. We have very similar tastes in setting up vehicles bud. Nice work.

Scott this is easily the best build involving this weird little kit that I’ve ever seen. Great job with this one. Your modifications and paintwork are spot on

So 40 years ago you had skills like this.....wow

[handiabled]

I'm blown away! You modified and scratch built this when? Gorgeous!

Thanks for the great feedback. Yes, it's hard to believe that one is 40 years old. My kids are way younger.

Very cool. I like the stance - but where are all the fingerprints? 😂

That's a cool little street rod Scott! Your mods looks great.
