I like your little T here. The paint finish looks great. Does this body have the option of being a panel ? The reason I ask is the hinges and what looks like a door handle on the back. You mentioned what might be done for your headlights. I would suggest a clear over the headlight lens. I have used Future and Tamiya X-22 Clear with good results with either.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try using clear on the next chrome headlight car. There weren't any other parts to make it a panel, but it looks like one could convert it pretty easily with styrene. Not sure it Revell ever made one or not.

I painted the headlights with some thinned pearl white, to try for a more realistic appearance than the chrome. it looks alright, but not great. what suggestions do any of you have for better looking headlights?
Also, any tips for photographing dark painted vehicles? Mine seem to always look like they are in the shade.

Finished! This was supposed to be an easy one, but I had some issues with decals and paint. Re-did the paint on it, and while its no show winner, it was a fun build that looks great on the shelf. Now I may try and pick up another and finish it like the John Buterra version. we will see, lots of others still on the bench.

Almost done with this one. Had a few bumps along the way. Had some nice paint on it, then the 30 year old decals shattered in the water. I tried to apply them anyway, and sprayed the other ones with a light coat of clear, but couldn't save them. Had to sand them off, and had to redo the paint.

Wow, that turned out great! I didn't even look in the Under Glass section before I sent that message. Very cool subject.

Steve, did this Comet ever get finished? this looks awesome.
Greg, any luck on getting decals made for the safari comet?

Great job on this, what a cool project. I love the engine. So many wires!

Yeah, the engine is a little small. Not too worried about it, Im not going to put much effort into it. I saw the John Buterra version when I was looking at this one, and I like it. I might try to get one of the re-issues and replicate that car later on. We will see how the one goes.

Thats insane! Awesome job on that front suspension!

I like these Revell Hot Rod Magazine series of kits from the 80's. I have built several and have a couple more on the shelf. A fellow forum member hooked me up with this one, sending me this one out of the 3 pack. saved me some money, much appreciated! I plan on building it box stock, not much added detail, just focusing on paint and fitment.

Nice job! this looks awesome. love the flat paint.

Excellent mild street rod. Color choice is different, but really fits this build. Did that dual-carb manifold come with this kit?
thanks, yes, the manifold came with the kit. It was the two in one version with the surfboard and wood side panels.

Nice job, that paint looks flawless. I love that color combo.

This is a cool build. I love air cooled 911s.

Very nice job, on a cool unique kit!

I found a built up kit for $5 at a swap meet a few years ago. stripped the paint off and its been sitting ever since.

I just saw this on the side of a box. Looks like they made a Sedan Delivery at one point.
