Thanks for your encouragement. This amt kit is a 'Street Machines' version and only came with chrome centrelines which I didn't think looked quite right for the look I was after. I wanted to get the feel of the early 1960's / 1970's saloon (touring car) racers (Trans Am series in USA), so i decided on a clean look with the matt black bonnet with the Fujimi deep dish Watanabes. Quite a lot of mods were required to get them to fit, especially the rears. I toyed with the idea of painting them gunmetal but convinced myself that silver was better.
proosen: Yours looks great, love the colour. The amt version is pretty basic and all the main parts (chassis, interior tub & body) all sort of 'float' around, nothing is very precise, but I don't mind the lack of detail as it makes it easier to lower the ride height. The body needed lots of cleaning up and some filling, but I think amt always do a convincing shape and it seems to have the right proportions. But saying all that I think the Revell version is the better bet with much better detail but one wasn't available when this version was up for grabs!
