Paul, thank you, and I agree, its hard to see in my oh so deceiving photography, there was a large of amount of orange peel/semi rough texture on the clear coat, and a lot of debris, I mean a lot, its the hardener that has dried around the cap area and fell into the bottle, its time for a new bottle.

Ich_Will Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Great color, but it looks like you parked it in South Chicago...windows out, hood and wheels stolen. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkzwolf Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Your paint looks great. I just started this kit. Your tip on how to correct the fit at the front of the chassis saved me a bunch of time figuring it out. Thanks. I'm using the Hobby Design upgrade set but still debating on the Plamoz wheels.

mrmike Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 This is looking great Jonathan! I have the same kit in the stash. I was going to use the Prior Design kit from C1 Models, but now I am having second thoughts about it. I may have to look for some aftermarket wheels for this kit though and I do like the lowering process that you used. Looking forward to more progress from you on this!
