This is really cool, I like the idea of creating a better box than the Willys originally came with. Great job on the weathering, too.

Thanks for the compliments, and the tips. Steve, that Cobra looks really nice, I would like to pick up one of those kits next.

Stripped all the paint off, primed in white, and even tinted the primer with a little yellow. Not sure if that helped or not, but it looks great. I painted it using Testors bright yellow. I couldn't wait, and applied the stripes. I like the way it looks so far.

Snake, I used your idea with newspaper and super glue. Seems to be pretty stiff. I mocked everything up to see how its fitting together.

The interior on this car is so nice, that I decided it should be a convertible. I am using the 69 Camaro convertible for the parts. Here goes. Does anyone know how to re-enforce this windshield frame? I'm worried it won't be very stable. I am thinking maybe some stiff wire on the backside? Who has done type of modification?

I am attempting to make the correct hood by combining the two in the kit. Its getting better, but its not quite seamless yet. The Ram Air hood that I cut the center out of has a less prominent, or lower, seam in the middle, so there is some inconsistency there. I may just knock down the seam on the front portion to make it even. not sure yet.

Dang, Mark, thats a die hard Pontiac family!

Here is the set I got from Keith Marks. He offers 4 different colors of stripes. The top decals are for the 1968 Firebird, he just put them on the same sheet.

Thanks, that shows what I was looking for.

Interior is started. Does anyone know what the exhaust on a 6 cyl looks like? Are they dual tips or single? I can't find any pictures of the underside of these cars. Are the chassis black? Overspray? I can't believe how few pics I could find.

I added a few more details to it. Fuel line, vacuum line, and a dipstick.

Snake, this 6 cyl builds up pretty nice, but needed to be sanded flat to fit together nicely. Do some test fitting before you paint.

That engine is looking great! I don't think i have ever seen that Revell kit. How does it compare size wise to your AMT?

This looks awesome, I love the weathering, especially around the exhaust openings. Very realistic.

Here is the interior bucket I have been working on for the GTO.
