Bills72sj Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Slowly making progress. I have been trimming and thinning the parts box 67 engine bay to fit into the 68 body and chassis. I found the Shelby center console and added that to the interior tub. I also ran the spark plug wires on the 428 Cobra Jet. I even matched the factory wiring order. (Not that anyone would notice).

Monty Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Just thought I'd pass this along for reference. As you might've noticed, the kit's grille/bumper assembly aren't all that accurate. You could improve things by separating the bumper and moving the grille screen back, as shown in this photo.
