Hi Greg, You're a local guy. Send me a PM if you are going to the Automotive Model Builders March 2020 NNL Show in Burnaby. Cheers, Adam

This is a dream build of mine. I was lucky to have been able to pick up a Scale Productions “Eleanor” transkit a few years ago. I will be scratch building the Total Control front & rear suspension, that was used in the “hero car”.

Got the stance nice & low. Still having gap issues with the hood & body.

Opened up the trunk and layed down some carpet. Rear wheel tubs needed to be painted body color. Almost forgot about that detail ....

Here is the finished grill. For those that remember, I cut out the headlight holes, made a new template and corrected the gap. Also drilled out the plastic grill and added the photo-etched detailed grill. Added a very thin piece of BMF trim around the edge. Overall, I think it’s a good looking grill ! LOL Some BMF work around the windows. For the fender trim, I’ll use the Molotow pen. I like to drill a small hole and glue a pin to the base of side mirrors. Then drill a small hole in the door. This makes glueing it in place easier & stronger. Below, all I did was drill out a hole in the middle of the hood hinge. Makes it look more like a hinge, rather that a triangle shaped hinge !! First time installing hood pins. It was a challenge and very tedious getting it to line up and function properly. TCB, Adam

Nice !

The photo doesn't show the depth perception very well, but drilling the hole out and mounting the parking lamp from behind made a big difference. Small changes like this may go unnoticed to some, but as the builder, I like to think it was a improvement. lol !!
