This was a real glue bomb. I sanded and buffed out the plastic as best I could. Some of the old kits I like to leave them in raw plastic. I had to hit the parts box hard on this one. Front tires from the Predicta and rears from the Lil Coffin. Carbs and manifold from the Lil Coffin. Top was from the parts box. The frame and the chrome stuff from a later release of the truck. Alclad on the origional heads/valve covers. Origional interior was useable.
