Just finished today.
A very old kit with serious structural defects in origin.
For the assembly I used only the original resin body,
that I completely emptied, to adapt it a full chassis interiors and engine from a Monogram kit.
The wheels are from a Midlantic kit.
Thanks.)))

I wouldn't call it a howl, more of a grunt. Here's a video of a first class 427.

I had the privilege of riding in a very similar car a few years ago...it will cause you to hold on and scream!
