Man...............what's not to like here??!! Color, stance, wheels. Wow!!!

Knocked that one out of the park bud. Wow!!

Ok fellas....some more done over the weekend. Still have to work on the hood fit, tail lights and some other small issues but it's all but there.

No matter what you're building I always learn a lot from your builds. Thanks for taking to the time to go step by step with your processes and methods Bill.

Impressive............very impressive!!

Thanks Carl!!

Thanks Lorne. Sorry for the delayed response. Dan!!! Thanks ol' buddy. Been a long time since we've talked. Been busier than "all get out man." 'Preciate that Craig!

I agree Bob. There's a few things I don't like about this kit but so far it is going together fairly well. Regardless of my lack of posting in the last couple of weeks, I have been able to hit the bench. With my son in football and in agriculture in school (he's raising a pig) we've all got some really busy nights. We don't plan anything right now outside of the pig and football. I would post more during the week at night but I'd be a babbling idiot due to being so tired. In regards to the bench, I have spent the better part of a friggin' WEEK applying bare metal foil to all the chrome trim that is on this car. I never in a million years EVER realized there was so much dang chrome on these things. Boy did I ever get a rude awakening! I've still got more chrome to install on this car in the way of bumpers, headlights/ bezels, turn signal bezels, tail lights and the like. I had to sand about 3/16" off the bottom of the window/ glass assy because the interior tub wasn't fitting into the interior cavity fully causing a large gap between the top of the door opening and the interior door panels. Crazy. After that I managed to get the body installed onto the rolling chassis and I'm VERY happy with that result. It was exactly the look I was hoping for.

Thanks Carl. I appreciate the comments Dave. I hear what you're sayin' about the interior. I've done some research on these cars and have come up with the same thing.

That is a good lookin' color!!

Always a pleasure to watch your builds come together John. Some awesome work bud.

That is one sharp ride right there mister. Love the idea and the results were just out of this world!

Lookin' forward to the return Lloyd.

WOW!!!! Blown..................away!!

Lots of good work went into this one. Looks fantastic Garry!!

Details are at a premium on this one Dann. I know what you're talking about in regards to PE forming and for me the fret retainers not properly filed off. Lookin' good man.

YESSSS!!! Watching.....

Man have I been missing out! Watching this one......

Man it's been a while since I've peeked in on this one. The detail is simply awesome!!

Man the possibilities are literally endless with these panels/ vans. Love the progress Darren.

Thanks Tom. Sorry for the late response. OK guys. Interior is finished. There were several things that I didn't like about this kit in regards to the interior. First off, the ejector pin marks were at the worst possible places. One on each side of the seat bottom???? What tha heck? I managed to cover one of them with the magazine and the other I sanded as far as I dared and still not sacrifice the texture on the seat. Then there were two ugly marks on the flooring which got covered up by the floor mats. Secondly, AMT produced the interior in the boring base model interior. Had to get a little creative with the seat to jog things up a bit color wise. Lastly, the shifter looked like something from a school bus so that QUICKLY got changed out for something a little more sporty by way of scratchbuildinig. The goodies used were more of a distractive measure to make up for and enhance the mediocre interior. All in all I'm fairly pleased with the outcome. Although not my best interior and aside from some minor inaccuracies, I think I made more out of what I had to work with. I've really tried to get this kid involved and knew I was taking a chance by not having him build it along side of me but he lives a ways from me so I figured I'd try to captivate some interest by way of detailed instruction and photos via text messaging. I've gotten the occasional posts that'll say "Cool" but most of the time I get nothing at all. I still send him progress as I've done all along but I think he just wanted me to build it for him and that's ok I guess. Was just hoping to spark some interest is all. In the mean time I'm having fun with the build.

This..............is a great idea!! I really like how it looks. Nice n' sleek.

Continuing to look good Andre. My son is a big hockey fan and we watch whenever we get the chance.

Looking forward to seeing this one Aidan.

Thanks fellas. I appreciate the great comments. Completed the engine this morning.
