It is better start to do something... So I decide to build this kit, and probably build it as gasser, it would be my first experience on gasser, so any idea it is welcome. The kit is a ok kit, plenty of molding and flashing everywhere... The plastic also is very brittle, and the clear part, above all the windshield is covered of scratches. My idea is to build it as gasser, but put a big motor on it, instead to use the one from the kit... Here the kit...

Hmmm..this sounds like an interesting build Brizio. Are you going to make the guy that's driving the car too??

Yes Gary, at least the idea I have is to make both car and guy, I really love the matching mask-front end of the car. Will see what happen... Here the gas tank.

Now you're talking! I just couldn't imagine you using your vision and abilities to attempt a plain vanilla gasser, although I must admit I found the idea intriguing in a perverse sort of way. But this change of perspective should pay off handsomely.
Can't wait to see more, more, more!!!!

@gary, agree!!! Yesterday I quick look a the body, and I think to don't use the one that came with the kit, the flip nose doesn't fit very well the rest of the car, and also if it fit, it looks like pulling down little bit. So I think to use another body, I don't remember the kit brand, but it is molded in red.

This is why I opted for a different body, one reason is that I prefer it, and the other is that the flip nose doesn't fit the body very well.
