                        Ok, let's see if I figured this out...

                        Kit came with no engine, soooooo.

                        Pretty cool for 30 bucks. Block is die cast.

                        Well, well - a jeep with a V8! If you don't already do this, I'd say listen to ZZ Top while building, especially  "Manic Mechanic" Big Smile. Are you going to keep the machine guns? Good luck with your build and have a nice day

                        I might make it so the guns can be added.

                        This is amazing. How much was the kit.

                        Thank you. I got it on sale for 109. I've seen it as much as 350.

                        Way-bummed that you couldn't use the 426, but it's a great project! Love to see what comes next.

                        Ya, I really wanted to run the Hemi too. Hopefully the Vette engine will be true to scale and smaller.
