Is this the one that comes in kit form that installments are sent to the builder to complete over time?

[1970boss]

Yes, this is a kit that was assembled over time.

I completed one of these 1/8 scale '67 Shelbys but added a few details under the hood. Especially corrected the wrong firing order. Fabricated the plug wires from mini black wires from old music headsets.
Fabricated my own firewall wiring, solenoid(complete with wires and nuts), heater hoses, hoses to the windshield water bottle, added a fabricated fuel pump, added more detail to the oil filter with the addition of an autolite decal. Added fuel lines for both carbs and also the heat tube as well. Detailed the brake master cylinder and the brake booster.
Added a trunk mat and detailed the wheels with black background.

I don't get on here no where near what I used to. I went through a bitter divorce and she ended up with it. But my daughter is going to take some photos for me. I live in a different state now and so does my daughter.
I spent 3 years on this model and I will get photos on here soon.

Photos I promised. I have about a dozen so I'll post several times.

Also in addition to the post from Jan 16th, the positive and negative battery cables were fabricated. As well as the alternator wiring. Both the P/S dipstick and the oil dipstick were fabricated. Coil along with the coil wiring were fabricated.
Air filter element was painted orange with white as well as the Cobra top filter housing black with the silver paint along with the Cobra valve covers.

I got most of my ideas from the DeAgostini forum. And just tweaked a few items to make it look more realistic.
Thanks for looking.

Few more of undercarriage and wheels and full side view. The black in  KH wheels were detailed as well.

You can barely see it but I fabricated the fuel pump as well. In addition, I fabricated the fuel rail and the fuel lines to both carbs.

That's one heck of a build you did,  great details

good luck on your sale

Incredible build, only one problem I see is that you have your wing nuts going in different directions 🤔     🤣   LOL

They always told me my wing nuts were out of plum😁
Thanks Roy.
