I don't remember which one I sent you. Did it have the long headrests and waterfall center console? Actually, the only part I am missing is the stock convertible boot and stock taillights. It has the custom taillight.panel and stock bumpers. Yeah. Fortunately mine is cleaning up easy. I'm already to the "putty the divots" stage. Should be getting the first coat of primer tomorrow or Friday. Later-

Thanks. The kit went together beautifully. I didn't have any trouble with it at all. Thanks guys for the nice comments. Later-

I picked this up last month. I got it stripped down and started cleaning up the glue scars. Fortunately, it came apart very easily. I removed the front roll pan in preparation of reinstalling the bumpers. The tonneau cover definitely had to go. The plan is to paint it white with blue racing stripes and a red interior. That plan may change though. Later-

Thanks fellas! I took it home last night to give to my wife. I built it for her. She loved it! Made me feel good. Later-

That is beautiful in the Fathom green! And I like.that you used the 70 Impala wheel covers. Very nice touch. Later-

Very nice looking Vette! The orange suits it well and the interior is perfect. This was one of my favorite kits to build. Later-

Thanks Nigel. She loved it. She wanted to know if she got to keep it. I told her that it was hers. She is trying to figure out where to display it. Later-

Thanks fellas. I enjoyed this one. Tamiya makes some nice, well designed kits. Later-

Very interesting idea. I love the colors and the detail in the engine bay is outstanding. Later-

I found it Sam. I was looking under the Big Boyz section. I like the Emerald green on the wheels. They look good to me. I don't have any answers for your questions though. Too bad you don't have a spare piece of the interior or a sprue to test the paint on first. I'm sure someone has a thought on it. Later-

I just finished this build today. A Tamiya kit that I picked up unstarted for $15 and built for my wife. She liked the little car and picked out the paint. It is Rust-Oleum Marigold. The only changes to the kit were spark plugs wires (which ended up interfering with the hood, so I had to thin the center of the underside of the hood. It looks like the hood is sitting high in the front but this is actually a design feature of the hood. Hope you like it. Comments and criticisms welcomed. Later-

Finished up the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA for my wife. Later-

That's the plan. Now to find a scrap body. Later-

Looks good Nigel with the variety of panels. Great idea. Later-

Nice! Later-

My shipment from Jimmy Flintstone came in and, as always, he threw in a freebie! I ordered a 41 Ford COE (with two grills) a Black Force Sedan Delivery and an Elvictamino body. He threw in a custom 29 Ford pickup. Later-

Wow! That's quite the haul of early stuff! Quite a few I wouldn't mind having. Great find! Later-

Here is where I got to today. I tried working on this tonight to get a bit further but the thing began to fight me every step of the way. So, in the box it goes for tonight. Later-

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. Been doing quite a bit of painting of the various parts today. I'll post some pics tomorrow once I get some things assembled. Later-

Very realistic build! I have been examining the pictures to see the details in each part. I am building my first attempt at a drag car from this era and yours is the perfect example to follow. Thanks. Later-

Thanks. Too bad I posted it in the wrong section! Later-

Stopped at a vintage thrift shop on the way home from work and picked these up. The Mustang is complete and the Buick has a broken/ missing windshield frame. But the price was right on both. Already have the Buick pulled apart and in the Purple Pond. Later-

Amazing build! Beautiful paint. Later-

I picked up this Mercury Psyclone kit recently and dove into it yesterday. Got it primed in dark grey and shot with an old can of auto touch-up paint in orange. Came out a Copper color. I cut apart some Slixx decals and rearranged them to make the name "Backlash". Dug through my decal stash for the rest of the decals. Here's where I'm at today. I haven't built many drag cars, so let me know what you think. Later-
