Thanks for taggin' along Dan. 'Preciate it Carl. Great to have you along as well. Thanks Matt. Will be lookin' for that Camaro build of yours. Just about got the chassis done so I should be posting pics in the coming days fellas.

Very nicely done with the timing cover and oil pan Francis. Been away for a little bit and then looky what I've missed!!!

THAT.....is tha bee's knees right there. Very nice service truck!!!

This one is a true beauty so far Dann. Paint job looks KILLER!!!

Got anything Dann?

Wow!!! I dunno what to even SAY here!!

Thanks Dave. 'Preciate it man. Working on the chassis now...….

I always like going back and looking through this thread. Beautiful build.

I had this kit as a kid and loved it. Looking forward to more Dave.

The build turned out great....there's no doubt about that. Your photography really sets it all off. Good work Jeff.

Wow!! This thing looks great!!!

Glad to have you on board Jeremy! Looking forward to the next T/A of yours! Got the engine finished up this morning. It only took me around a week to get everything together on this one and I stuck to my guns on my OOB goal all except for the oil filter decal. It's not much but it adds a lot to any engine build. For some reason the exhaust manifold texture came out grainy in the photos but it looks smooth in real life. Weird. Anyways, here's the 5.7 liter LS1 engine for this beast. It's my first OOB engine in YEARS!

Thanks Dann. I'm currently work on the chassis and engine painting and assembly. Hope to have progress photos soon. Thanks for following along.

Thanks Jim. I seem to be making some fair progress on the interior now that I got the major detail work out of the way. Hopefully I can get the flooring installed and the seat & seatbelts under way soon.

I've seen that color on a few and while I do like it I'm more of a red fan with these cars. That does look good though. Thanks Carl. Glad to have you along.

X 2!!

Dang Jeremy! A little late to the party here bud. Very nice work!

Thanks Curtis. I did see one thing that I did NOT like about this kit as well as the 1:1 scale cars when they were new is that it comes with ONE tail pipe. I didn't understand it or like it then and I sure aint going to do that to this car. I've already got the necessary parts coming to make this a dual outlet exhaust as of today.

Don't sweat it bro. Working on the rest of the interior now. I didn't like the OOB door panels ………………..at ALL. First off , the OOB armrest and inside door latch handle were barely visible. No "Maverick" trim bezel was present at the top of the trim panel either. Being a car than only sees the track....it's not SUPPOSED to have a window crank handle either....BUT...it was molded in and I decided to install a PE handle and knob from the spares bin. The armrest was made out of spare resin parts block retainers that I had, the door latch handles were made out of square bits of PE that I bent and glued into place and the trim bezel was from extra window crank knobs that I had in stock. Interior in the foreground is OOB with the one I'm using in the back ground.....

Thanks Carl. LOL. That's a really good question Kevin.

I really meant to comment a couple of days ago when I had this bad boy pulled up on the screen. What a fine build this is in every aspect. Just beautiful.

Man this is some really clean work going on in here Jimmy!!! Keep 'er comin' !!!!

You just keep givin' 'er the ol' 1-2....

Thanks John. Your input is much appreciated and you are right. For some crazy reason it didn't even occur to me to remove the radio. Pure oversight...but.....I'm already done with the dash and it'll be staying there. Just can't bring myself to go backwards with that part of the build. Thanks Jerry!! lol Thanks for your comments Len. He probably did use the Mr. G shifter. This was one of the liberties I took with this car though and there are a few here and there. Thanks Scott. 'Preciate that Francis!!

Thank you both for the heads up.
