This is a 1/64 scale casting.
These pics are pretty good, but, I can't stress this enough,
they ABSOLUTELY do not do this Kreation justice!!

TWO castings were stripped, sanded and polished slightly before any body mods or paint was done.
This one started out as a Special Order for a gentleman that suddenly backed out of the deal......HIS LOSS!!! This one turned out KILLER!!
I decided to do it MY WAY after the deal went awry and this is the result!!!
The two castings were cut and mated up with each other, carefully aligned, then Marine Epoxy was utilized for the bond!! This bond is VERY STRONG as I left the material inside very thick and smoothed out the body...AND I MEAN "SMOOTHED OUT" the body!!!! ALL the original casting lines were ground away and filled with Marine Epoxy and automotive grade body filler!! The only exception to this was the hood and nose!!! The sanding, priming, and more sanding was VERY VERY EXTENSIVE with this one!!!! Once the smooth look was achieved, I carefully sanded out concave areas behind the side windows, smoothly fading them into the bodywork!!! Then came the fender openings for the New Tandem Axle Muscle Machine meats!!!!! I left a VERY subtle ridge around the fender openings which goes nicely with the smoother body style I think!!!!!
The smaller fronts came off a Muscle Machines CarTOONS series Vette!! The base was completely hand shaped and fitted from 1/8" Plexiglas sheet into its new surroundings!! I went to great lengths to utilize the tail light holes in the body for a rear anchor on the new base...pretty much the same design as the original base, but, very tricky to get the Plexiglas to fit the tail light holes!!! Two oblong stubs were VERY VERY carefully CUT in the rear of the Plexiglas and aligned with the castings tail light holes so as to make the fit!!!! This in itself was pretty tedious and time consuming, but, works great!!! Once this was done and the base then was secure in the rear, a hole was marked and drilled, threads tapped, and the front was anchored with a machine screw!!!!!!
The front wheels needed to have the axle length adjusted, so, 1/16" brass tubing was matched to the base and the existing axles clamped in. A slot was cut in the base for each axle and they are held in place with "hold downs" crafted from spare Dub City and Muscle Machine parts, then once again, small screws hold them in place!!!! They ALL touch the surface at the same time (after some extensive adjustments), roll VERY well and look even better!!! However, the fronts do have a occasional rub on the inner fenders, even after a lot of material was removed to allow clearance.
The base was then disassembled, cleaned, sanded, primed with Plastic adhesion promoter, base coated with Black Urethane, color sanded, clear coated several times and FINALLY, shot with Alclad Chrome!!!!
