MPC body on the unforgettable PL chassis
I really like the 429 engine but the chassis does not care for it.
Eventually we all found a way to cooperate
PPP wheels and tires
Impeccable as always Powerslide decals
My own mix of Vallejo reds, brush painted
Future clear, brush painted
Tamiya smoke + flat clear on bumpers to make them look race weathered
Thank you for watching

| Pierre, you've done it again. Mirror smooth finish, super clean build, and a front end that looks like it came off the real car and was miniaturized to fit. Also, that is the best color match I have ever seen for this car. The beauty of mixing your own colors. |

Wow! Amazing job!
I'd love to hear more about your brush painting method, because the paint finish looks great. Brush painting would solve a lot of my painting issues when the weather is bad as I have to do my spray painting outside. |

Mark, if you are interested in brush painting, please share your experiments and results on the "Brush painters society" sticky. A few of us are getting into this and sharing helps us all to improve.
regards,
Pierre

Excellent build. I built Benny Parsons' car using the same method: MPC body PL chassis. The 429 is a very tight fit.

A real beauty sir. I need to improve my underwood detailing for sure. Would you mind sharing how you did the shock absorbers and the rad hoses?
thanks

Thank you Pierre. Regarding the shocks, I used the kit parts for the shock body and made the shaft and upper mount from bent wire. Here is a quick example:
I used this for the radiator hose:
