There was a big discussion this morning about whether to wire and plumb the engine or not. We should know more in the days to come.

Don't want to say this kit is "finicky". Just be prepared. The kit doesn't have the "H" , "E", double hockey sticks in the name for nothing. 

I have noticed. It is going to be challenging.

Started this one this morning. We'll see where it leads.

[Question for the NASCAR folks]

Does one clear before the decals or on top of the decals?

That's a beautiful build. The body colors and trim look extra crisp. This should be a great model.

I agree.

Pat, Check out Gofer decals, they have decal sheets for letters/numbers in a variety of styles & sizes. Not sure about cream but white for sure.

 

Merci Pierre.

Highlighted the shutlines and reveals.

What am I going to do about the lettering? I'm out of clear decal sheets and how do you write white on white paper? I wonder if Michael's would have the correct size and font cream lettering.

And we have paint.

Nice progress,Pat.  Does the exhaust really go the inner fender?

Oh yes. I had to disconnect it and wiggle it through.
