AMT with my own body mods, Bill J tires/wheels and oil tank, Indycals. The story: built over 15 years ago in a light silver blue; visited the Museum @ Indy and saw the car painted candy blue, so redid mine to match with Cady decals; then found out sometimes the museum isn't right, so after many years did another rebuild, finished this weekend. Some other day I'll fix the tire lettering.
Nose mods: fill inside of nose with epoxy, grind from top to get better profile, fill scoop with sheet plastic, putty, voila!
Hood mods: grind off large bump, fill from underneath with sheet plastic, fill top with epoxy then putty, make "hinge" from strip plastic, voila!
Narrow front and rear axles, still offset, but not like the kit.
And that's my basis for bargain Watsons.
