After a night at the bench and a Zoom tie in with Sam I Am, I was able to get a vision for this old body and chassis from a parts box. I filled in the top of the windshield/ front of the roof that had been hacked off. I also extended the chassis to make the rear axle sit where it needed to for the rear tires to fit the wheel arches. Does anyone know what kit the flame decals are from? Later-

Just got my end of a trade with Gloozalot. Great trader! Thanks George! Later-

Got these in a trade today with Gloozalot! Later-

Just spotted this at the grocery store. Later-

That's because it's Testor's Wet Look Clear. Lol Later-

Got this thing wet sanded and the final coats of clear on it this morning. Now to let it sit in the dehydrator for a while and then give it a final polish in a week and touch up the chrome. Nearing the final stretch! Later-

Gary Seeds did a sweet one years back. That's the one that gave me the idea for it. Had always planned doing a Rootbeer paint with gold and silver pinstripes. Later-

Wow! I like everything about this so far. Keep it up. I'm watching. Later-

Looks like a solid plan. I also have wanted to do this for quite a while. Just always had other projects jump in front of it. I'll be watching the progress. Later-

I was just playing with different things , like you said, had wanted to not have to spray so many clear green coats. The chrome is sprayed with a couple of light coats of Tamiya Smoke. Later-

Man! That looks amazing! Your work on this has turned out beautifully. Love the color on it. It looks very similar to my Nova I did. I used a layer of Tamiya Gun metal, then a layer of green and then the clear green. Keep up the good work. I like how your interior turned out too. Later-

That's looking very nice. Great work so far. Later-

Looks nice! Good job! Later-

I LIKE it so far!! Later-

Looks great! Love the interior work. What color is the body? Later-

Yeah, it's not too far gone. Go ahead and strip it, give it a good sanding and clean it really well. Then you can start over with light coats. I once painted a body 6 times with Tamiya paints. Dropped it, had something greasy on the body, someone gropped something on top of it while drying. You name it...It ended up costing me almost $70 in paint alone but it turned out to be one of my nicest customs. Keep after it! You'll get it. Later-

Lol! They were "lovingly" called chickens. Funny how an idea gets started in our brains. I say go for it!! Later-

Declan, Silver with blue chicken would be a great combo. PM sent. Later-

Got this yesterday on the way home to add to the stash. Off of FB Marketplace for $10. Open but complete. Only the engine halves glued together. Later-

Your build is looking great so far! What color are you planning? I ended up with the 1/16 Tans Am and the 1/16 Charger new in the boxes when I bought a bunch of kits from a guy off of FB Marketplace. Really have no interest in either one and tried to sell them pretty cheap a while back but had no takers. I'll have to keep an eye on your build just in case I end up having to keep them. Later-

Ooh! I like that! Later-

Thanks. Thanks! It does look a bit like that color. Proof that there is "nothing new under the sun". Later-

Thanks Carl. I remember reading that article. Nice work done to that Pacer. Later-

Got a couple of 3D printed 572's (stock and blown) in today. I think I may be back on track with this one. Going to try to scratchbuild a twin turbo system along with the 572. Later-

Got these two 3D printed engines off of FB Marketplace. Delivered today. A blown 572 and a stock 572. Now I can get back to work on my 67 Nova Sedan. Going to try to fab up a twin turbo system for it. Later-
