Having pulled my car out of mothballs and moved it to higher ground with the rising flood levels,
today was a good time to get it beside Don's Arntz to compare the two.
Maybe it was also a chance to remind Don that while he has a legitimately registered big block,
there's another car in the family that should also go OK when it's back on the road...
It's interesting to see the differences in body shape between the red Arntz and the blue RMC bodies.
The shape of the front guard rises sharply away from the headlight on the Arntz, and is more gradual on the RMC.
There's something different about the bonnets, but I just can't put my finger on it...
Rear guards sit higher over the boot height on the Arntz
I love the bonnet cut-out that was designed by Arntz for access to the distributor on a Chev engine.
Crazy to think you are only arms length away from the distributor from the driver's seat...
Overall, despite the Arntz body being taken from a mold off CSX3193,
I think the RMC is a much more authentic looking car.
It's simple - the filler cap's in the right place!
