This
was pre painted, and had a beautiful black shine to it. Much
better than I could have done painting it myself.
The
kit comes with a set of wheels and another "extra"
set of hubcaps. There are 2 options for induction on the engine,
and two pre-painted hoods.
For
some reason, I could not get the chassis to fit to the body
as well as I would like. Being a snap, the locating pins for
everything are pretty clear, and taking it apart and getting
back together several times, I was still unable to get it
right to my satisfaction.
Hemi
Muscle Cars - Chrysler's Hemi-powered muscle cars were quite
arguably the most coveted and outrageous vehicles ever unleashed
on American streets. During the height of the muscle car era,
fire breathing Hemi V-8 engines set performance standards that
all other manufacturers desperately attempted, but miserably failed,
to attain. Featuring a gallery of all-new color photography
by veteran MBI author Robert Genat, this history of Chrysler's
Hemi muscle cars focuses on production automobiles like the Road
Runner, Charger, Challenger, Super Bee, Super Bird, and Barracuda,
but also includes coverage of the motorsport Hemi's that dominated
NHRA drag strips and NASCAR ovals.
Chrysler
Muscle Cars - There are plenty of good reference pictures
in this book for the scale auto enthusiast. The text gives a good
history of Chrysler muscle, but the pictures are the tops -
engine shots, good body shots, close-ups of unique features.
Highly recommended for auto model builders.
Chrysler,
Dodge & Plymouth Muscle - This marvelously photographed
and engagingly written history chronicles Chrysler's big-block
history, from the C-300 to today's rubberneck inducing Dodge Viper.
The author discusses technical and aesthetical triumphs, as well
as promotional efforts, with an emphasis on the much-coveted Road
Runners, Barracudas, Challengers, Chargers, and Super Bees of
the 1960s. Evolution of legendary power plants like the 426 Hemi,
340, 440 and 383 is also discussed, along with the motorsport
exploits of Chrysler proponents Richard Petty, Dick Landy, Don
Prudhomme, the Flock Brothers, and others.
