  1. Love it. I picked up 3 of these kits in the Coca Cola version on clearance at Walmart a couple weeks ago.
  2. My 14 year old self would have jumped off a cliff to have a ZR1. Truly iconic car. I love your rendition. Great job.
  3. Thanks folks. Still plugging along. I snagged a few more models yesterday (don't tell my wife).
  4. I found a really cool 78 Dodge on the internet. I'm trying to loosely recreate it. Mixed up a little paint. Kind of close to what I was going for. Here's a rough mock up of my progress and my inspiration.
  5. This is the AMT Coca Cola kit. It had the flash and fitment issues that you would expect from an older kit. The perplexing thing was the glass seemed to be from a different kit. I totally cracked it trying to size it up. Found the correct glass in my graveyard box. Interestingly enough, the red tinted glass that also came with the kit would have fit. The paint is Testors Aztek pearl purple over a gold base. My trusty Rust-oleum Crystal Clear Gloss enamel clearcoat. I like the Rust-oleum clear because it behaves well with the Testors paint. For some reason the paint on right front fender looks kind of wrinkled in the photo. Not sure why, but it's smooth in real life. Nothing special to note. I added plug wires. Just tried to make a nice clean model to display. Very enjoyable build. Thanks for giving it a look.
  6. Got the glass sorted thanks to my junkyard stash.
  7. I've yet to do this kit. You did it very nicely. Great job.
  8. Thanks everyone. I appreciate the good words.
  9. Everything was rocking along pretty good until I got the the windshield. Totally does not fit. I'm going to have to do some major sanding or make a new one. Here she is:
  10. Awesome built. Love it.
  11. Been a while since I bought them!
  12. I love those paints. I guess they have discontinued them? I bought up a stash worth some time back and haven't shopped for any since.

    Love it. I can almost hear Bon Jovi blasting from the speakers.
  14. I like it. I like what you did with the side trim.
  15. Love that blue. Nice job.
  16. That's a show car. Really nice buddy.
  17. Thank you very much. I'm a bit fan of Citristrip.
  18. I bought this kit as an open box from eBay several years ago. Had to strip the previous owner's failed paint job. All the parts were in the box, thankfully. The color is Testors Aztek Green Pearl with Rust-oleum Crystal Clear Enamel clear coat. The tires and wheels were from the parts box. I think they came from the Revell 67 Chevelle Station Wagon. Wonderful kit. I really enjoyed building it. Thanks for giving it a look. ๐Ÿ˜€
