    Randy I know you told me this before but can you tell me how you did your grill.  I am doing mine right now and not really sure how to best do the outline around  the area that the parking lights are in.  I realized last night that there is no line definition on the grill surrounds.  Thanks Dave

  2. Well my update after the weekend.  I feel like I am getting the clear polished out and looking good.  Probably looks as good as a 71 paint would look.  Lol.  I applied the Fred Cady decal Sunday.  It needs a touch up in a few places but after 1.5 hours of working it I think it looks good.  I think it looks better than the hood decal that comes with the kit.  It is less glossy and it is the correct pattern.  Being a decal that was made what maybe 15-20 years ago it didn't come apart too awfully bad.  The soft set was a little rough on it as I moved the decal around especially those two raised areas on the hood of the Demon.

    Has anyone tried using the AMT Duster for the chassis/floor pan and driveline ??  I'm still waiting for my Demon from Hobbylinc !

    I have seen a few people use the engine out of the 71 Duster kit which is a much nicer 340.  I was tempted to use it but decided to do this build pretty stock.

    Looking good! Since you are putting decals on after the clear, could you just dull coat the decals on the sheet before applying, and then cut really close to the decal? That way you would not have to worry about the Fred Cady ones. Just a thought.

    I actually thought about that and wondered if anyone had success doing that.  I also have a set of The Last Detail decals too.
