I think I should change the name of this kit to the Odd Rod. I deliberately gave it a traditional look, but added some odd features along the way, such as a Bugatti straight-eight and twin rear wheels. Full spec follows the pictures.
Body - lower edge cut off, about 3 scale inches. Rear wheel arch openings cut into body and then filled with spare inner-arches from a Revell '30 Ford Coupe. I also reshaped the rear of body and added 6 holes each side (decorative, no function intended). I cut the Fooler fire-wall off and added a flat panel from behind. The odd looking, Cord like, radiator grille came with an AMT '75 Gremlin.
Frame - spare frame from the Revell '30 Ford.
Suspension and axles - from the Fooler kit, just detailed.
Engine - Bugatti motor from a BBurago diecast. The blower came with the Fooler kit and the exhaust from the Bugatti but was reshaped and shortened.
Rear wheels are from the Gremlin and the fronts look like Corvette.
Paint is Vauxhall Reed Green from a rattle-can.
Everything else is from my bits box.

It's an interweb thing.....
