After seeing the pic of the 1:1 car and this, I suppose its not too far off unlike if RC2/AMT tackled this in 07.  But the only glaring problems are:

Stock 389 motor? But NO new aftermarket parts for it at least!? - Coulda tooled up an LS1 and/or borrow parts from the '98-02 Camaro/Firebird kits.  ITS NOT THAT HARD AND COSTLY TO DO.  (Maybe they wanted to fit what they can in the box so the dev money saved could be used for their "fun" shows in Vegas)

The wheels are OK but a wee undersized; tires are oversized ala '06 mustang 4x4 look.

No disc brakes - You've done it for the regluar Cali' Wheels kits, why not this one!?

Biggest one is the price - $26.99 for something a bit "undercooked" and no other build options (aside from the extra drag parts that are now somewhat useless).  I'll let this one slide, as I allready did one with an LS1 and properly lowered.  The previous issues are still in curculation and can be found FAR cheaper that this new warm-over.  With the stock issue, you can have extra parts for other projects and scrounge up your own to make an far accurate version of this Foose masterpiece (that Revell should've SERIOUSLY taken into proper consideration in their marketing meetings).

'99 Stang is nice to have back again...  Moar 4.6 and IRS suspension goods to drool over!

I would explode if they did the '04 SVT Extermator in coupe or convertable form.  OR SOMETHING DIFFERENT!  But of course, they need to churn out moar rat rod roasters and stale tri-5 coupes for unit sales to make the sales excutives happy.

Select Michaels stores have have a speical on all allready marked clearence items, where they take an additional 60% off the clearence price.

Two weeks ago, the store I went to had a Corvette ZR1 marked to $4.49 and I had only $5.  Item came up $4.49 then an additional 60% off came up and waz now $2!  Oddly, it was the only one they had marked at that price because the rest of the clearence kits they had were $14.49, so someone musta messed up with the sticker gun (or it was swaped).

BTW, that store had the model isle empty and closed off.  Does that mean they were doing another reset?  It's been two weeks and they must be done by now, so i'm curious to what new kits they would have.  Anyone know?

Whats happening is you might be applying too much gloss white to cover the gray.  A gloss color is "thinner" than a flat color due to the amount of thinner in the paint mix. Therefore, it could run or cause uneven aeras on the painted surface.  What I find works is after the coat of gray primer, spray some flat white so it covers over the gray, then apply the gloss white so it gets an even shine/gloss.  By doing this, you won't have to apply much of the glossy color to cover the gray primer because there is a surface that matches the color your applying over it.  This works for gloss black over flat black, red over pink, sliver over black, and so on.

Purple Power works wonders!  After stripping application it may leave some flat/non-shiny spots, but a polish with toothpaste then a coat of future, it can bring the clear shine back up!
