  12. This is a simple but interesting kit. It only contains 77 pieces but everything is molded nicely and fits properly and I believe the body shape is fairly accurate. This gives you a kind of blank canvas to build upon allowing you to create and add all the extra details you want. I separated the exhaust from the rear end structure for a more realistic look and added rear shocks. The rear end was dropped 2 mm for a better stance and I raised the front bumper 1 mm. I detailed the engine bay with battery cables, dip stick, heater hoses, 2 PCV hoses and washer container hose. Finally I applied white letter decals for the tires and the purple roadrunner "Meep Meep" horn. I painted it to replicated the Chrysler High Impact color Sublime / Limelight and painted the black hood stripe in Satin black. I'm happy with the result. If you are at the point where you want to add your own touches and variations to a model this one works really well for that... Cheers Dan
  13. A while ago I started using 3000 grit, then 5000 grit to make my primer as smooth as possible and it improved my paint finish a lot. Seems to go against what most are saying but it worked for me. I use various spray paints for my color coats. It seemed to reduce the orange peel. Cheers Dan
