  17. Wow is right....thanks, bud!!....it does feel like it, lol
  18. This really is my FAVORITE General Lee build!!!!.....it has that certain feel!
  19. Moving along with this build as well....got a bunch of rough work in, now its time to sand it all....painting should be right around the corner! -Photo 1; In order to fit the Grand Sports motor, i had to get rid of the existing tranny mount, and engine cradle. Then with strips of sheet styrene, i began to make new ones...I also removed the tie rod, and sway bar for now. -Photo 2&3; For strength, as well as a nice finished look, i added a strip of Uber-fine styrene to cover all the joints on the top side. You can see from the straight on photo what it looked like before i added putty. -Photo 4; The engine fits great!! -Photo 5; I found that i needed to add styrene to the floor under the seats. The seats wouldnt set right for me without it. -Photo 6; A quick mock-up...its looking just as i hoped! -Photo 7; I sanded off all the molded in firewall detail. -Photo 8; Although this is one of AMT's best kits, the interiors side panel fitment isnt that great...notice the gap between the door card, and door itself -unsightly....sometimes i dont mind gaps...especially before the painting proccess adds its thickness, but this gap isnt even even with the body....i will have to tweak something....Hmmmm. -Photo 9; Here i temperarily attached the side pipes to the chassis, so that i could perminantly glue the headers to them in the proper position.
  20. LOL, thanks alot. bud!!...glad you like it!!
  21. Huge update here, everyone!!....The interior is now ready for paint!!.....i will be totally finishing the interior before working on the rest of the kit. -Photo 1; This is the kit steering wheel with a SB ignition housing, and a turn signal stalk from a Fujimi Countach kit. -Photo 2&3; My SB dash all done...mirror from a Mini cooper, SB guages, warning light, and shift light. -photo 4; SB peddle linkages...engine lights...hand brake...shifter from a Fujimi Porsche, and peddles are from a Jada Ford GT kit. -Photo 5; Door cards made from individual strips of styrene that have been rounded. Holes drilled for seat belts... -Photo 6; Here are all the bits ready for paint, including a large SB toggle to switch engine performance info. -Photo 10; The guage cluster will just miss the windscreen!
  22. Thanks again, Bud!!......not a chance, lol
