Great build! I always enjoy when something different gets posted and it looks great!

Nice build! It still looks good even with the faded decals/paint.

Very nice build! Well done!

Thanks! It was a fun build! Challenging but fun.

Very nice. The mods are the best!

DId you do anything to get the stance like that? It sits perfect!

Nice Build! I have a few of those and even made a "tour" style mod out of one. I'm loving that the mods finally have a modern kit.

Nice Build!

Fantastic build! Love the detail!

Very nice so far. 2 questions, where did you get the mesh for the front end and the air cleaner? Looks fantastic.

Nice work!

Nice!

Thanks everyone!

Enjoyed this kit until I got to the windshield and the pinstriping. Those will test your patience! I used the Salvino's Pepsi Challenger kit for this build. Painted with Tamiya white primer, TS-8 Italian Red, TS-26 Pure White, and TS-13 Clear. Polished some with Novus polish Added black wash to the wheels. Sanded the tires then cleanded them with brake cleaner and laquer thinner. Added future to the sidewalls and let dry. Applied the decals with decal setting solution and after they dried, I added acrylic flat clear. Once that dried, I weathered the lettering a little with "oil stain" weathering kit. Added Ignition boxes and wire that I had in my stash. Aftermarket guages/dash. PE belt buckles and medical tape for the belts. Made a new window net (inside the car) with medical tape PE Hurst shifter Added aftermarket fuel filler and made the overflow tube Added PE bolts to the rear spoiler Redid the exhuast with metal tubing Added photoetched hood pins (they are finicky but I like how they look.) The hardest part of this model was probably getting the pinstriping correct. I kept Mikes decals in business with this part of the model. I did a little work to the engine bay but not much. This is a shelf build The windshield gave me fits. I had to sand down the dash where it meets the firewall to give some slope so the windshield would attach. I also sanded down the top part of the windshield as well. Superglued the bottom edges at the dash and filled in the rest with Mod Podge. I also made the front headlights and grille. Added mesh to the front grille over a Salvino's grille insert. My mistake on this model is that I didn't extend the red far enough onto the front of the nose to give room for the Chevy logo. Had to put that on the hood. Thanks for looking! On to the modifieds! img hosting image post

Very nice build! Great photography too!

Yup. I remember that. Fred's forum was a great place and I truly enjoyed it!

Very nice and clean!

Outstanding builds well done!

Just saw this build. Fantastic! And the paint job looks great!

Very nice!

What a great and unique build!

I have purchased several "extra" items from Hurd's website and they seem to be of good quality. I can't afford the Hurd kit but did just receive the other modified kit from Wes/Jim and it looks great! Your build is fantastic btw. I love the mods and follow and attend when I can. My only other question is, where did you get your decals made? That's the issue I'm going to have with building some of these mods.

Very nice build! Well done!

Very nice build and something different. Well done!

For my window nets I usually use medical tape for the border and for this one I used a wall repair patch and cut a piece from that.
