Nice n' tidy paint work coupled with all the detailing you put into this one makes for a great finish up Jeremy. Great photos in that light box too dude.

This really turned out sweet Rodney. I like how you replicated the wheels and tires along with the detailing. I know this one gave you some fits (no pun intended) along the way but you ironed this one out very well.

Paint work looks great Dave. I'm looking forward to seeing the next steps on bringing this beauty to life.

Really enjoyed following along on this one Jeremy. Beautiful build man.

Some good detailing in that interior bud. Looking sharp so far!

I'm coming to the final stages of this build and grabbed for the inside and outside rearview mirrors to start working on them. Why.....oh why do modeling manufacturers do this? I've worked with countless mirrors and have never come across this.....until today. Un...frickin' believeable. I'll be tossing the inside mirror and grabbing one from my spares and the outside....I'm going to have to do some fancy foot work with.

That's a good question Carl but I think it came from the Estes Garage set. Found it in my spares and this particular one didn't come from the Fujimi Garage Set so it must've come from Estes. Thanks brother. Good to see you Mike. I appreciate the comments Craig! Thanks Bill. I fell in love with this color immediately after seeing the reference shots of a Vette in it. Thanks for the good word Donald!

Man this is COOL!!! Will be following along Dave!

Some good thoughts and ideas going into this one Rodney. Watching......

I went back and looked at the WIP and you're right Dave. It's about as simple of a kit as I've ever seen and I can see where it would give you issues but it looks like you weathered through it and got this puppy done bud. Good wrap up on this jewel.

Oh SHOOT!! I've been slackin' heavy in this thread Jeremy. I'll follow it so I don't miss anymore updates. Lookin' fabulous so far bud.

I keep on inching closer and closer to the finish line with this build folks. For the past few weeks, I've been looking for a ratchet & socket set to go along with that open battery compartment door in the interior. I just knew I had one in my parts stash somewhere and ended up finding it just a few days ago. A little clean up and then drilling the sockets out to add to the realism. For good measure there'll also be a combination wrench laying in the lid as well to add interest. Painting and detailing it all up will bring the ideas to life. I've also been working on the "red rag" idea that's been rolling around in my head. I made it have a natural "lay" next to the socket set in the interior, but you get the idea. Starting point: This is an important step for me because NOW I can move forward with assembling the body over the chassis. Here's the shot of that: Outcome: Wheels and tires are finished and I've got everything test fitted on the chassis as a sort of dry run I guess:

Thanks Rich. It's been a labor of love I can tell ya that! 'Preciate it Dan. Stance and wheel position relative to the wheel openings seems to be a constant battle that is ongoing but with a little patience it usually works out. Carl, thanks brother. Always good to have you along buddy. Thank you Dave. Great to have you along as well. JR!! Thank you for the kudos bro. I always get a kick out of your paint and BMF work. Thanks Kelson and yes they sure did have some pretty snazzy colors to choose from back then.

That paint turned out pretty spiffy Rich. Looking forward to seeing more of the whole grille progress.

Looking forward to more on this one when you get back to it Shawn.

Good ideas in motion Dennis!! Any more progress on this one bud?

And he's got an inline six going in. PERFECT. This one's looking good so far Tom.

Looks like you've got the stance and wheel/ tires located in just the right spot relative to the wheel openings Donald. Those door panels look GREAT man.

Man that DOES look good LIN. You sure know your way around modeling pal. WOW!!

Lots of work being put into this one and you're right.....that engine is EONS better than the OOB AMT engine. Looking forward to seeing more bud.

A bit late here Rich but welcome aboard bud.

Thanks Don. Hopefully I can get this one wrapped up inside a month. lol

DANG IT LIN! That is some mighty fine aircraft modeling and GREAT color modulation throughout on the exterior. A truly fine example of good modeling and surely showing us how it's all done right there. Man that's good.

I do like something different every now and then and buddy.....this is just that. Will be following along on this one Scott.

These kits are not for the faint of heart, but it looks like you whupped this one into some good shape Sam.
