fireguy14 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) My last completuon, finished up last year. Found the decals on Slixx, and this was my first build using them. Had an issue with the first set, all my fault, so bought a second. Ran into trouble with the red area, and they sent me another. Ended up masking and painting red area around scoop. Wheels, rear tires, steering wheel, and disc brakes are from Futuraattractions. They look awesome! Tried to do studs so wheels could come off, but did not work. And decided last minute to add plug wires, so not my best effort. Really happy with this one for sure. But was a lot more work than I anticipated! Thanks for checking it out.

Great job David👌 Thank ya Mike! If you build one, the red on the tail should be shaped just a bit different than mine. Sides are less angled going by decals. The few pics I found of the real car looked more angled to me. Ended up using 2 or 3 sets of the stripe, cut apart, then coaxed into position to match my paintwork.

TransAmMike Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'm thinking for mine I would like to do it as one of the new generation matchracers. I guess it's what they are called. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
