I did this as the rebuilt Swamp Rat 12A after the accident, just before it was sold and converted to an injected Small Block Chevy. The Chassis was lengthened a scale 7 inches and 4 of the side braces were removed. Barely visible but I added the dent in the main loop of the roll bar. The seat tub is the corrected shape and formed from .010 aluminum flashing. The decals are a mix to come as close as I could to the rebuilt S.R. Interesting research and a fun build.

Nice detail work. Are those front tires kit or are they O-rings?
