Even the "Competition Cams" logo is done with chrome foil! This is a trend I hope will continue. the gage decals are simply beautiful. |

I really like the tires on this kit. Working on my #71 Dave Marcis Buck Stove Hudson Chevrolet Olds. This kit like many has it's pros and cons.
Rear axle had some issues. |

An early video from Salvino's of the body molding showed some being molded in black. Any clue what that would be for? _________________ Bill Jobson is my real name. |

May have just been the plastic loaded in the machine at the time......JR's using a big 'consumer' injection shop so many different colors used for kitchen stuff and the like. JR's seems to go with white plastic I hope. |

They mold test shots in color also, so they can be visually identified. Might have been the final round of test shots. |

Winner!!!
in one of the video's on their FB page. he explains that's what they are, and there was enough request they were selling those "Limited" black bodies, on a first come first serve basis. |
