Thanks Dave, there was a fitment issue with the rear wheel wells but I was glad I got it to fit...lol

It was the AMT kit, The front fenders were separate. Thanks and yes it took a lot of trial and misses to finally get it right. If I could only keep the dust off, I wouldn't have to spend so much time sanding them out. lol

I built this monster 8 years ago. I had to take the dust off it and give it a polish. Its no were near what I would do with it today, knowing what I know now. I wouldn't mind building another one if they weren't selling for 300.00 or so. I think I paid close to that then. It was a bidding war on E-Bay....It just about fit in my spray booth

That is one hell of a build. Great work and thanks for the tips. Looking forward to hearing more.

Thanks Tom, that's for sure....

I finally got it, thanks for showing me how.....

Is there any way to edit a listing?

Thanks for looking guys. They do get better as I go along.

Thanks Mike, I think it was Boyd Enamel Sunburst 52708. I had 2 more bottles and it looks the same.

I know, I mixed up the 2 kits I posted. Thanks

Thanks Jim, Yea took a little doing, but got it.

Thanks guys, Got the year wrong. I threw the box out.

Thanks Dave, I'm sure I will.

I used 3 different kits to try something different. Its not 100% but I gave it a shot. Hemi engine in Pontiac, LOL why not. Cutting the frame and changing the rear end was a first for me. Not bad for the 1st time.

This is a first attempt to modify a box build. It's not perfect but I was happy considering it was trial and error.

Thanks Mike

I'm not too good with figuring things like that out. I will try this weekend and let you know.

I know the feeling, there is nothing worse than spending all that time on the body and the last step makes you start over. I bought a 73 Corvette kit that took forever to find. I must have used the wrong primer because when I painted the body it came out all webbed. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I sanded it all down again, used a different primer and then had fish eye. At this point I was ready to crush the body. I let it sit for about a week until I cooled off and then got it right. So the moral of the story is not to give up, you can always correct a problem when it happens. Good luck with the build.

Welcome aboard. Just post when you can and were here to help.

Welcome Evan, Enjoy the experience....

I will go into paint and re-size the photo. It should be .24mb to fit to size. I will try this later on tonight. Thanks.

Thanks Jim, I will try that.

Any picture I try to download from my I-phone or computer to use as my profile picture said its to large, everyone of them. Any suggestions. Downloading to the forum is fine.

Its all good! Sometimes its too late or too much work to change a mistake.
