I was just showing pops your post and updates, he really likes the build as well! I'll definitely tag you in the post!

Some progress pics from a little work this morning, laid down some black flocking, overall happy with it. I normally use model master or Tamiya clear, after watching a few YouTube videos I tried using straight paint, model master flat and semi gloss black. Also used some photo etched foot pedals.

This is going to be a sweet build when completed, can't wait to see it! Great Work!!!

Build is coming along very nice Ferbz, awesome to see you building this, brings back a lot of memories seeing this from when I was a kid! If you don't mind I would like to take some of the pics and post it to our club Instagram page!

Good looking build, I'm going to have to get me one of these!

My girlfriend began taking an interest in the model car building hobby while watching my pops, my daughter and myself work on our builds off and on and wanted to give it a shot. I had a Revell snap kit laying around, no box, just the bagged parts we had collected at a past NNL show and figured that would be a great starting point. Not much to the build but cleaning up parts and adding a little detail. A while back we started with the interior, added flocking and details trim details using the paint and chrome pen. The other day I was shooting a model for a friend using some Kandy Apple Red basecoat, she liked the color so she got to try her hand with some paint work, the red laid down nice, this was shot directly over the red plastic the model came in, the body was cleaned up with a little 1500 wet sanding and washed with dawn soap. She felt comfortable shooting the basecoat down but was scared of the clear, we used some Custom Shop clear, laid down pretty nice. Wheels and tires were robbed from an AMT 63 Impala kit.

Here is what I have so far for the new interior: Paint was Createx Pealized White, I've had this laying around for a while and wanted to see how it looked compared to the HOK Snow White Pearl I like to use, overall wasn't bad, took a bit more to cover but also a lot more cost effective. The areas that are black will be flocked, the chrome trim is either foil or chrome pens.

Here are a few shots of the original interior - at this point I had already popped off the photo etched handles to use on the new build

Here are couple overall shots, I'll post a few more up of the old interior and the new one I am working on in a bit

This model was built back in 97/98 and while it came out great, for sometime I’ve been thinking about switching up the interior and wheels, give it a little different look. Here are some shots of it and I’ll post some of the original interior and what I have going for the new one.

Coming out really nice, great job!

Sweet build, everything flows for a great look!

Looking good, like the changes and engine looks killer in there.

Like the paint scheme, looking good so far!

Very nice build!

Thank you all for the comments, so far it has been a fun build, not going to add an engine all though I had considered it. I'm planning on adding some details to the interior, a boom box, some hydraulic or air bag components, should come out pretty nice I think!

Thank you, wasn’t exactly what I was going for but might work out!

Got some painting in today, not sure how I feel about this one yet, wasn’t exactly what I had pictured

Very nice build, love the detail work in this

Very cool!

Started on this for an Instagram Buildoff, been a slow start but luckily this is going to be a curbside build. So far I’ve spent the most time in cleaning up the body, scribing, removing some mold lines, blocking out some flash lines. I think I’ve got the height where I want it, adapted some loweridermodelcarparts 13inch wires set in. Have some ideas for the interior and paint scheme, see how it all goes!

Little update on the Gasser, while finishing up my Camaro, I was spraying with a new Grex airbrush and decided to shoot the Ford, sprayed it in a House of Kolors Kandy Blue Basecoat, came out nice, clearing with the airbrush was a bit difficult, while I have since got a different needle and end for the airbrush I will probably continue to use the touch up guns for most body spraying and clearing

Very cool, lots of plastic surgery went into this! It all came together really nice! That rear angle view with the taillight section and down the side view, sick!

Good looking build, I just finished one of these recently, definitely had its struggles, believe the coil might be molded into the firewall if I recall correctly.

Thank you all for the comments, overall I'm happy with this build but it is not what I was and have been aiming for, there were a lot of challenges with the kit and having a month or so to build it, make it fun!
