1014121116a.jpg1014121116.jpgwell bad news for me, the rustoleum melted scars into the body. and days of removing the paint left the body weak and handling it cracked the roof. So i said scrap the body. if you have a body and willing to give it to me ive learned my lesson about rustoleum its getting testors. My birthday is the 18th (4 days from now) so think of it as a birthday present. I know thats called begging butthis body is to badly hurt for me to fix it. Edited by Platerpants

Too bad on the other body Jake.

I don't know about that kit, never seen it before.

Let us know.

Good progress so far man.

Just hang in there, it'll all work out.

well the body is coated in thick wall primer(problock) and the flat black to show where its lower i sanded most of it flat and will have to carve in the body lines again to save the original body for a ratrod or something. my brother wants the body to destroy it (hes a ford hating mopar nut). so the new body will be sapphire blue and the old body if ever save is gonna be flat black.

Yes, the real, original GT40 is a lot smaller than the repop. Also, that particular kit portrays the early, MkI pointy nose,

Rather than the later, longer MkI nose that looks more like the repop.....

thanks i was wondering where the nose was from from what i heard everyone said the nose was too stubby glad to know it actually existed
