Thanks all for your kind comments
Yes the headers were a pain, but then there were a few fitment issues, mainly due to the age of the mouldings I guess.

Here's my take on the great Revell Miss Deal. I added chrome backs to the headlights then dropped clear varnish into them to give a pleasing yellow shine. I painted on the rear lights and threw away the push bar (foot) which to my mind just looked silly - and she does have a starter motor so it's not needed! I also added rear supports to the roll cage and moved the steering wheel and seat to a left hand drive setup. I cut down a dash panel with a couple of instruments from an old F1 kit and added that and also made a rear window 'cos it looks better that way!
I threw away the two-part body support strut as it looked clumsy and I could not fathom how and where it was supposed to fit. I also had to lower the entire cage and do some sanding of the front internal frame to get the stance just right - I dislike 'nose-up' gassers and street freaks! Let me know what you make of the stance I arrived at (looking at you Bill!)
I've wanted this model since I was 15 years old - finally got one fifty years later. Not perfect but I love it ?
The kit is showing it's age but I thoroughly enjoyed building it - and it looks great on display with the Vette and the Charger.
I hope all's well with Michael as this thread seems to have gone a bit quiet and he's not responded to the PM I sent a while back for this quiz.
Are you OK, Michael?
I've been contracting for over 20 years now, it seems it's us rather than the permanent staff who have the motivation to get stuff done - if we don't, we don't get counselling and training we just get given our marching orders!
I'm now 64 and busier than ever.
Do you not like engineers?
I wonder if they do typos like yours?
The point is not to give clues. Peteski's comment is a borderline clue. But the car's homeland is surely where it's home is. This one lives in the States, or did once.
But whatever, I'd have one as a shopping car.
Looks like a gas.
