Well, I'll just say this. I haven't done a model in over 20 years and thanks in advance to all of the users on this forum. I've gotten so much information and tips from you guys. A few weeks back my co-worker tells me that he has 4 models still brand new that have been sitting in his basement for many years. He said we would draw out of a hat and have a contest, so of course I was game. I drew the AMT Chevy Monte Carlo and ran with it. What a fun project and I am definitely looking forward to getting back into this hobby.
First use of foil ever. I actually used the foil tape that you can get at a hardware store to tape pipes. I live in a town of 3000 and have to make due with what options I have.
Interior
Engine Top...Not happy with the wires and distributor. Used a paperclip for the distributor post and heat shrink
Engine Bottom
First attempt at a vinyl roof. Used 1 1/2" masking tape, painted white then cut with x-acto
Racing stripes cut by me
Did some customization so I could fit some wheels, tires and disc brakes up front that I had from a Tamiya 911 kit from years ago that half was missing anyways
Here's the completed car.
Once again, thanks for all your help. Already looking forward to the next one. All feedback and comments are welcome.
