This was the blue LE with the flame job and TTs. I got rid of the wheels and used half a bottle of polish remover to get the flames off. I did some dremmil work to get the rotors to stay in place and had to work on the wheels for them to stay in place and turn.

What ya'll think. :feedback

Here is a side shot.

I might work on it some more to get the front tires all the way inside the fenders as they stick out just a hair.

Al,

Looks great.

I really like that color. Do you have a before picture with the flames?

The paint is well applied and really deep. I did not take a pic before. Here is a small one from Kevin's scale18.com

The Cobra wheels look great. Can you lower it anymore in the front ? Any engine mods ?

I actually like those flames :cheers

Scott, no engine mods just yet-all Ertl still. I can now see that the front end needs to go down. I will try on Monday to reverse the spindles and see. Or maybe I swapped them by mistake and it raised the front end.

Darrick,
Due to Ert'sl "famous" Quality Contol, the tampo flames were crocked/damaged and looked bad, so I had no choice. Plus I got it reduced for $9.95 at a Fry's and I did not noticed how bad it was when I bought it. I did like the flame job as it represented that time period (mid-late '70s) as well as the TTs.

Thanks for the comments! :cheers

how did you get the flames off? I have the Ertle Ford F-150 slammed series pick-up truck and it has some ugly flames i want to take off.

Non-acetone nail polish remover, cotton pads and lots of elbow grease! Be carefull with clear plastic parts like windshields.

Acisne - You made that car look LOADS better. :cheers

 

[Guest]

Looks perfect

 

[corrupted]

I like it too. The wheels updated it, and they look good.

 

[jcollege]

Great mod! If you could lower the car just a tad, I think that would be just perfect :cheers :cheers

 

[acisne]

Thanks for the responses! :cheers I'll have to get this 4-year old mod off the shelf and re-do it. I am a little more confident doing mods nowadays :giggle

Some carpet and a lowered stance would do wonders.

 

[Guest]

I think it should be lowered and it should be finished
