Got any updates on this bad boy Kevin?

I've been looking at the body/ paint work for some time now.

I'll be sticking to the box scheme as I've always like the dark red idea with these flames. I saw another one of these kits in Houston and should have snagged it up for the flame decals just for an extra set. I'd really like to give your acrylic paint idea a go on this one. May get with you in a PM on this.

Ok I managed to get the brake rotors installed and the brake calipers mounted up on that. I guess I could have made mounts for them but where does one stop? LOL. I did drill holes for brake lines to be installed and will be working on that coming up. I also applied some alclad to the inner rim edges and painted the backs of the wheels. Here's the front suspension / brake setup so far: And another mock up just to make sure I'm still tracking straight here. Never enough test fitting I'll tell you that............

That motor looks good there Justin!! Have you thought about applying a mild, and I mean mild, wash on the pulleys and the supercharger butterflys? It's merely a suggestion and you don't have to put much. It'll bring out the detail a little better.

Cool!!! Will be looking for paint here..................although this does look good in primer!!

Freekin' WOW! The paint is just out of this world!!! Then there's all of the updates and conversion work!! That outta take the #1 spot in/on the display case right there! Great work Paul.

Lookin' forward to seeing that sometime Chuck! Jeremy: You're right about that! Serious firepower right there!

Looking good Andy!! What's your idea for the tubbing procedure.

Welcome aboard Harry!

Welcome aboard Zach!!! Get you some plastic and lets get rolling!!

Welcome aboard Scott!! You chose a good bunch to get in with here!

and here he goes folks!! Will be watching Tim!!!

Keep it all coming there Steve!!

Stray: LOLOLOL!!! Thank you sir! Tim, Carl and Troy: Thanks fellas!!

Lookin' good Pat!!!!!!!

Now that is huge!!! Darren: I've definitely never seen that kit before!!! Anthony: I saw a couple of those Goodyear blimps at the Houston model show for sale! Tommy: I've never even heard of that car..............let alone the model!

This is just flat out cool!!

I have faith in you that you'll pull through there Greg!

What an outstanding turn out of a build Tim! You've got this whole paint finish thing down I'll tell you that!! It's "show time"!!!

Thank you Greg, Dan and Jim! Today I had to work on something that would yield tangible results...............so I switched over to the rear tires. I painted the white lettering, lightly sanded the letter tops after the paint dried to level the paint out a bit, applied a coat of dull coat onto the tires and dry brushed some ground up black pastel across the sidewalls to give 'em that added "used" look.

Wow!!! Talk about wild Dan!!!! Talk about wild!

Well I've got the brake pedal and throttle return springs figured out now. Got these from inside a wristwatch band retaining pin:

Good ol' Revell kit. I've got this one and I'm doing something fairly similar. I like the idea on the exhaust. What did you use for the exhaust tips/ extensions? Nice build BTW Ken!

When it rains it pours...and I hear you loud and clear. I had the perfect (or at least what I thought was the perfect) clear finish on my Challenger until I saw a freekin' run on the R/H rear quarter and a speck of I don't know what right in the middle of the drivers door. Needless to say there was some more work to do but like I always say, "That's modeling." Hang in there Greg. You'll get it all sorted out.
