Started this kit with an idea of how it would look from a pic I found on the net of a resto-mod... (car is actually a '69 Plymouth Road Runner, still a nice ride all around...)
So far I've had to do EXTENSIVE MODIFICATIONS to the suspension to get the Pegasus widebodies to fit under the fenders, including cutting the front axle back almost to the firewall and nearly glueing the wheels on there. Rear axle was trimmed in width and rear shackles were cut from the leaf springs to get the height under control. More pics on the mods later.
Another note: I WAS using the red decals from the MPC 1970 Coronet kit to supply the trunk stripe, but the decal completely fell apart in my hands (and its a brand new kit!). If anyone is building the '70 kit, THOSE DECALS ARE REALLY THIN!!!!
