Lookin great! I just thought I give you a warning on the rear axle not being centered to the wheel well openings on this kit. The wheels will sit to far back.. It's an easy fix relocating the diff on the springs and shortening the driveshaft a bit. If you have the latest issue of this kit you'll see it being off on the box art pics. I built a 69 charger a few months ago and the only other issue I had was the front roll pan below the bumper not fitting properly.. I glued some tabs on the outer pan out of some thin styrene to hold te corners in place to the fenders.. It solved the problem!
Can't wait to see more of this build!

Thanks guys for all the comments! I used the smoke paint from the can TS-71. I couldn't find it in acrylic at the hobby shop.
I got some of the chassis detailed.. I painted all the brake lines/fuel lines/emergency brake lines, which was a pain to do, since the details weren't raised very high! I also dry brushed some graphite over the whole chassis to add a bit more realism and heat stained the resonator and cat.
I also made a heat shield out of some cigar foil.

it's coming along perfect though so far. Making me want to pick up one of these!
Thanks! You should pick one up, it be neat to see more of these built, the details and pieces are very nice, the only fitment issue on this kit so far, was the front window.
got some details done under the hood.

Thanks guys, it's slowly coming along! That's awesome, what style are you going to build?
I got the tail lights finished. I got some Tamiya smoke and painted it on the top and bottom part of the tail lights (the tail lights on a 1:1 car are this way) then i put BMF on the back side to make them look reflective, it turned out pretty good i think!
I also got the chassis painted, once it's dry i'll start detailing it up.
Not a fan of the rough texture on the chassis..

Thanks guys! That Omni is looking great!! I'd like to see some pics of it when its finished.
I got the front window in with a lot of fight... prepare for a lot of sanding on the bottom of the glass if you want the hood sitting flat. The rear glass is glued in and i got the rear louvers painted.
