Thanks guys. Mike, the area around the scoop, including the scoop will be the same dark blue of the wing. As will the door handle and front splitter. I'll also darken the door lines.

Sorry I haven't been updating my status. I've been busy with other builds but now I'm back on the Widebody Camaro. I've got the paint down but now I have a dilemma. I originally wanted to go with a matte finish but made the mistake of showing my wife the results prior to hitting it with dullcote, and now she thinks it should stay gloss. Any opinions on gloss vs. matte? I think the color is kind of feminine in gloss, but my wife has a really keen eye for color. Thanks for your comments.

I've definitely been keeping an eye on this build because I plan to get one..someday. Nice work. I love the wheel switch, and the choice of color.

Hey, I wanted to do something like this myself so I did some research this morning. There doesn't seem to be any NHRA specs on the distance between the lights, but there is a product called a Portatree that a lot of tracks are using, and it is 6 feet tall, and the literature says that it is a full-size tree. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pts-3182led

Very nice build!! Well done!

My wife is very supportive, even when I make the occasional boo-boo as I don't have a dedicated space. She's very good with colors, and offers me tips on color combos and the like. She's also seen me moon over a kit that wasn't in the budget but insists I buy. She's a trooper!

Nice start!

Glad to hear that you're okay Lee. I was in my 40's when I started getting regular physicals and found I was pre-diabetic. I worked hard and now I'm not, at age 60, but I have to keep at it because it will come back on me. Good tips everyone! Let's be vigilant!

Jumping back in with both feet, eh? That's the way to do it!

I love the work on the junker Nathan! So many little things, like the acid spilled from the battery add realism.

One more thing Jim. I was looking again today for another source for a nose, and it seems Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland has a nose as well. I've never bought from him, as the only way to order is by phone but I just might go that route because he also has a quick change rear end I need. He's highly regarded by many. This pic is from a site that has some of his parts displayed but is not his site. Mr. Norm Veber, 410.768.3648

Nice build! True to the genre!

This thread is hilarious! I love your fab work Dennis! That front engine mount is simple, yet awesome! Keep 'er comin'!

Nice collection!!

I've been looking for one myself. I only see a grille on MCG's site. Altered States has one with the grille for $6.00. but they have a $25 min order requirement. I've been thinking about another Austin so maybe I'll just pull the trigger on both! Good luck Jim.

Welcome Joe!!

Nice!!

I agree Túlio, very nice prep. I know how much work you put into it because I have the same kit that I never finished. Prefit all subassemblies because I found a lot of ill-fitting parts.

Back at you Jeff! Ditto with zero problems.

Looking good!!

Yeah, sweet!!

Definitely different, and looks like a lot of work. Great job!!

Welcome back!! Have fun!

Well done!!

Nice job! Looks great!
