    Nice job! Some headlight covers would be a nice addition. Do you know of anyone who makes those? I could use several sets for my vintage NASCAR projects.

    Thanks. Not that I know of. May have to be one of those things to scratch build for each one

  2. Think I’m calling it all good on this one, not as much detail as I had planned, Decals didn’t come out great being from a 15 plus year old kit but for the first model I’ve built in 7 years I’m happy with how it turned out.

    looking great!  what color are you thinking for the chassis?  to me, color is important because it can either hide or enhance the looks of the overall car.....a dark color chassis and a dark color car body lends itself to hiding details that you may want to bring out.  likewise, a light color chassis and a light color body could show the mistakes that we all tend to make, no matter how long you've been building!  it takes me a while to decide what colors I want to lay down. 

    Chassis is silver/gray body I’m still debating

    Now that I understand!  Until Hobby Lobby opened in my area and I started gathering materials, I was locked into using what I had available.  I wasn't going to mention the tubes. But, the structure of the cage is sound and other than the size, which I can overlook, it looks great! The headers? I'm starting to work with solder and making my own (and I've been modeling for over 45 years!)....but with my military career (20 years) and moving an average of once every three years, I was left with building box stock.  Now i'm retired and getting the hang of aftermarket detailing!  Look forward to seeing the completion of this build and your future builds!

    Thanks. I found the headers in a box of parts then used some heat to bend them, then used tubing to collect them together

    I do agree. The workmanship is top notch, but remember 1 millimeter = 1 scale inch. The tubes look oversized.

    I agree, local hobby store only had that and didn’t want to wait to order more. Being the first car I’ve done in a long time I was expecting to be a bit rusty. Next build is going to be no expenses spared
