Got the door handles installed and polished them up since they're metal and installed them. Gives the panels a great 3D look and you can see the reflection of the handles in the door trim which I thought was a good touch.

Continuing to look good here so far Bob!! I'm liking those spinners as well.

Man this looks GREAT!!! Awesome choice in cars btw.

Good attention to detail on this Dave!!

Oh yeah..... I already like where this one's headed.

Lookin' good Pat. Hey man.....better late than never.

Lookin' really good JR!!

Thanks you guys. I more than appreciate all the good feedback. LOL!!! I'm just wondering how come it took me so long. lol Thanks Pat....and I do remember your Mustang. Didn't know that you sold 'er off though.

OMG man!!! That right there is one fantastic looking redo Roger!!! My hat most assuredly goes off to you for a job more than well done. WOW!!!

Haven't been here in a while and regret it. What a beauty this is turning out to be Tim. Good LORD man!! You and Francis are just tearing it up pal.

This looks swell Mike. What's the "motorized system" in this one?

Looks good so far Bob. I hear you on the pad printed tires. Makes such a big difference. I always dread painting white lettering on tires anyways and it just takes the sting out of that part of the build when the white letters are already there for you.

Sorry for being out for so long. Just have had ALOT going on in my personal world at the moment. Engines and interiors are my favorite parts of car building however I'm not liking the interior of this one as much as others. This one has some rather difficult spots particularly when it comes to the replication of some of the chrome/ aluminum plating trim. The door panel for these cars with the deluxe interior package looks like this: Started with the OOB door panel. Here it is mocked up in my GT-350 spare kit just to show what we're working with here for those of you who haven't built this kit yet. That door handle presents a nasty obstacle when trying to apply BMF to the brushed aluminum insert. After two failed attempts botching it up I just decided to remove the dang door handles and re-create the pockets that they go in so I could insert the metal ones that I ordered from Teds Modeling Marketplace later. The efforts paid off. Then came the addition of the chrome strip around the perimeter of the door panel insert as well as the addition of the mirror control lever and bezel/ retainer. Now we're just waiting on those door handles.

Good LORD man!!! Haven't been on here in a while and looky what all I missed. Good show Steve.

That is one sharp car Bob. I know you had your difficulties with it and all but your efforts sure paid off man.

I'll definitely go check the completed build out Bob. Really enjoyed following along on this one.

YESSSS!!! Looking very much forward to that Kevin. Good to see you. Man I've gotta hop back over to LSP. I've only been able to keep up with one or two forums these days.

I hear ya. I'm productive alright.....it's just not on the forums. Work around the house is kickin' my a$$!

WOW!!! That stance is killer!!

Ya know MIke....that turned out pretty dang good potna!! Sorry for not looking in more on the actual build but the finish is just great man.

That Nova chassis is such a good base to work with in Pro Streeting or making a drag car out of almost any given subject. It seems to fit like a glove. Nice work so far.

LOL!!! If that the worst thing you can call me then I'm doing good Carl. lol On this one yes but on most builds I slide some spark plug wire boots onto the wires.

Thanks Steve. I also adopted your engine wiring harness technique on my latest build. Worked like a charm.

Here's the spark plug wire that I use Joe. Some folks use different stuff but this is what works for me. Lex's Scale Modeling Ignition Spark Plug Wire 5 Pack 1/24-25. | eBay

Got the parts all cut out for the next portion of this build which will be equally as fun to put together as the engine was for me. There'll be a few changes in here.
