Ok, I need some help here; I do not build a lot of car models, but there are some I do want to build, this being one of them. A friend gave me the MPC kit, and I have decided the time is getting close to building it. So, without doing a lot of research on it I started getting some stuff together for it. I have the Slixx decals, I bought a pre-wired distributor, some paint, and then I decided to check things out a bit more. The kit comes with a blower equipped motor, I want to do the one with the velocity stacks on the intake, and I want to do the original car, not the restored version, so my questions are....
1. Where can I get a new intake and tubes?? I don't have a stash of car kits to rummage through, so is there an aftermarket part for this or a specific kit that has what I need?
2. I am trying to find a photo or photos of the original car with the sponsor decals on the rear quarters that match the Slixx decals. The problem is that most photos have a slightly different layout, and more specifically have a M&H tire decal on the real car that is not included on the Slixx sheet and I have not been able to find a pair of these decals. So I am trying to find a picture of the car without the M&H decal on it, or a pair of rectangular M&H decals.
3. Or, I guess another option is to go with the initial version of the car with a dual carb set up, but again that would require a different intake as well with the dual carbs.
Any help and suggestions you could give me would be greatly appreciated!

and a set of Hurst wheels, so that is sorted out as well. So that means that this little money pit goes on the build soon pile. I just need to test the gold paint I bought to see if it is going to be a good match.....I hope so.
