Hi. I thought I'd do something refreshing and different for a change. Paint will be a special shade of green because I like green. Wheels will be something to compliment the lines of the car. The pictures basically tell the story. They also show how to change the old AMT interior tubs so you can use other seats as well as shaved door handles and filling sink marks using Tamiya putty. I'll be using 4 C-4 Corvette seats. Cutting was done with a Dremel cutting wheel. Speakers in the deck/parcel shelf are Pegasus 8" woofers. Thanks.

Nice work there Tonio! I can always count on you for the moderately modernised modified muscle. (I am the king of alliteration.)

Nice job so far :bigthumb:

I like this shade of green, realy nice. The Cragar wheels (or American racing :eek7: ) suit the car very well too.

Oh my, an AMT build up on AF!! You sure this is allowed? :wink:

It's looking awesome! Great color choice, and those wheels are sweet.

I'm sure it'll be a stunner. I'll look forward to watching this progress.

I don't know the car, but from the box art it looked ugly, then I got to the photos of it painted and I was suprised how good it looks. Keep it up :)

Looks great so far. Galaxies are way cool, and don't get near enough credit. Your mods seem like they are going to make it just killer, too. Can't wait to see it done.
