Doing this along with some friends, not tied to Facebook or anything, just us guys texting back and forth and going like mad, lol. Doing a snap pete again so I can hopefully get it done in time, last two years I’ve finished with around 12 hours total time involved , so I’ll be updating this as I go over the next few hours. Thanks for looking , I’ll be unboxing in about 4 minutes…..

I’m in, but no idea with what yet, haha!

Wow! Love the color combination on that, gorgeous!

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I got the hoses on and an MSD box squirreled away in there too.

Food coloring and acrylic floor polish (pledge or whatever it is now), mix food coloring with floor polish to desired level of color.

Thanks for the comments and likes everyone. Looks like I have complete chassis now?

Very nice! Looks fantastic in gold and black.

Rolling right along, engine is pretty much done, I might try to add throttle linkage, but not sure on that yet.

That’s looking fantastic!

Excellent looking set up!

Looks like we had the same shopping day, haha.

In todays mail,

Wow! Superb build so far !

Let’s not forget, if it was posted using a phone, auto correct probably changed it, my phone is like my wife, always thinks it knows what I want to say, lol.

So glad this came up, I was looking thru this kit just the other day and thinking of posting the same questions.

Coming along nice , love the u joint!

Made a bit more progress,

Little more progress today…..

Thanks, I’ve seen your topic, the color you chose is dynamite, and I like how you did the wheels, I’ll keep checking on your progress .

I went back to Amazon to find a link, unfortunately, it is listed as no longer available ( had to check my purchase history to find it again as it didn’t show up in the search of how I originally found it), maybe try eBay?

Thanks, I was checking yours out yesterday, that came out gorgeous.

Started this a week ago or so, have quite a bit done-ish, haha. Making good progress though, body is scale finishes GM rallye green, interior is a mix of scale finishes GM frost green and Tamiya ts-17 gloss aluminum. Waiting for decals and some detail parts to show up, but here are some pics of what I have going on. Also used AMT parts pack rear tires and decided to strip the wheels and paint them , hit them with testors pure gold, then fogged them with Tamiya ts-52 candy lime green, then dull coated them .

Oh man that’s sharp! Love it!

Fantastic barn find! Two questions for you , where did you source the flat hood and weld pro stars?

I recently got some paint from scale finishes, absolutely love it. I got lacquer base coat paints, pre thinned, just need to clear it afterwards ( I used Tamiya TS-13) , first time using air brush for a body and I got these results….the Merc is color shift and the nova is GM rally green
