Just started this in the past few days......... I really like this kit, it will be the second one that I've built. So far I've just removed the door hinges and the mold lines from the body, and got the frame pretty much finished. Wheels and tires from a Corvette, and I plan on using skirts for this.........

Any and all comments welcome...........!

Thanks, Guys! Nothing worthy of a pic, but I just wanted to share a tip I've learned for removing scratches from bare plastic after removing mold lines and such......... I scrub the area that is marred with Comet cleanser and a tooth brush. It softens the scratches, and the primer will go on nice and hide the area that was addressed..........  ^_^

Thanks, Mitch, for the compliment! The exhaust is just the kit supplied pieces, the turn-down tips are molded that way......... This is a very nice kit, one of Monograms better ones....... As soon as I learn to chop a roof, I want to build one based on James Hetfield's "Crimson Ghost" '37 coupe.....:)

I really like your build. To bad about the fender paint. An idea if you can't get it to match, it was a style at one time of contrasting colored fenders. It may look good in either a darker shade of silver to a dark gray metallic or even black. Just a thought.
