Thanks mate! I am proud over my son making the blue one as well! Hehe Thanks!

Since my Porsche is coming to an end and i miss building muscle cars i picked this one up. My 5 year old son and I built a stock one for him and i realy wanted to remake it as it should look, luckily i had 2 kits so here we go! Years ago i started this kit by removing side moldings and other trim. I also put on a low wing which will be molded to the lid and boddy, sort of a extension of the boddy. Rims are SSR Professors with slicks. Will be needing a minithub to be able to fit the tires since they are wide, but that is needed for a Hemi I will be using a 1970 Challenger Chassis in this build so i get rid of the molded in exhaust. Engine will be mostly stock i guess with the chaker on top. Interior will be stockish with other seats. I will make changes to the construction of the boddy since i dont like how some of the parts go together. O and it will be gray with painted on side decal, fist time ever doing that sort of masking. Will try to use the original one as template and use the Hemi text from the original one. Photo #1 Side view moldings removed, door handels as well. This is the stance i will go for. I love the rims showing fully but tires being covered. #2 Front end modded, narrowed the lights by using the perfect sprue provided in the kit and then i drilled new holes ca 1mm more narrow. I think a outer ring will be aded to make the lights look more real.. or i change the lights to some other round ones.. we will see. #3 & 4 Rear with the new body extended wing. #5 My sons 3'd modell stock height vs my stance. #6 Difference in lamp configuration.

Thanks mate! Appreciate it! First one I am finishing in 15 years!

Looks incredible well! Love the interior! Loos as real as a 1:1! Some black wash in to the exaust pipes maby?

only the missing parts left..

incredible work as always! looks to be 1:1!

Nice build! Need to get me one of those. those valve covers are needed for a replica build of mine!

I hoped to get this one done tonight but hope left me.. I have misplaced one of the headlamps.. But found the track version cheeply on a site in sweden so i orderd 2.. will probobly get her this week but i wont be able to finish until next week.. Man i realy wanted to finish it now! But since i love taking pictures of my models i took some..

Last update before it will end up in under glass! polished the body with good results except for a mishap but I won’t do much about it. put the windows back and put the taillights in. Also glued the hatch and wing! a lot of lessons learned on this one! Will post a link to under glass here when done!

Loooks very good! Keep it going

Looks Awesome! Remember having one of these back in the days, and seeing this makes me want to build one again.

Great build! I love the F40 and Love where this one is going!

Looks good! Love these Astons! Good work on the wing, is it metalic black?

Great work on that huge kit! Looks coool!

Looking great, love the contrast!

Great work! Looks great!

Looks great! Nice Camaro collection! Love the custom display! is that a monte carlo bumper from the 70ths?

I have now done the respray as mentioned and did my first atempt with 2k clear. I have not practiced.. typical me so pressure was of and my ab does not adjust the air flow that well, cheap pice of machinery. So a good pass with micro mesh is needed. What pressure is good with Zero paints 2k clear? 30psi? Should i make the clear as wetcoats? I have finished the interior. That orange peel is hiddeus! Lets see if we get it of with micro mesh

Incredible Build dude! Details are insane! This must be a good kit to do more to since its quite detailed from the box. ?

Cool Project! Looks realy cool!

Beautifully! I just love those cobras!

Great progress! Looking forward to seeing this one being built!

Great build! Looks realy good after you have done your detailing!
