Hi, i dont see this car built often. I plan on using the kit decals and doing it out of box with only a few extra detail in the interior.



got the tires done, the sticker is from an older AMT decal sheet. and slixx goodyears





detail painted the engine and transmission



top end painted, Iused some parts box valve covers. I've had 'em forever and they never fit on anything! lol

got one header painted.

I paint it polished aluminum then use artist oils for the heat staining.

some chassis weathering, rubber debris a few oil streaks general dust accumulated after 500 miles of racing.

I got the rear end in. just need to add the shocks.

time for some body work.

I thinned out all the edges of the body even in the engine compartment.
still a lot of sanding to do but its getting there and I think I will leave the molded in fuel filler just because the way the decal is cut out to fit around it.

also I had a Photo-etch grill set so I plan to use on this car.
