    Well, after making all the mods to my Fairlane chassis, I couldn't get the back half to work. Once it came out too high, now its sits angled down so I wound  up printing a universal chassis I designed and cut it to fit. Still needs a couple of crossmembers, the floor pans fabbed and installed but at least now I see the light. I had to take a break from it to see the forest for the trees.
    Now for some more body cleanup, and prime it. I think maybe painting it will give me the kick in the rear it seems I need.

    My first completion in a while...

    Good kit, except for the 2 piece engine cover/rear wing assembly. Spent more time doing the body work on that than the entire rest of the build 🤣

    Color is Splash Paints Porsche Mamba Green with Mr. Super Clear, and polished.

    Wheels are Texas3DCustoms Forgiato EV-100 done in a Tamiya Bronze color and Molotow chrome accent. Never much cared for the original wheels the 1/1 car came with.

    Added some plug wires, but that's about it.

    Cheers

    Here is one of the rare occasions that I'm actually happy with the way the paint scheme turned out on this personal project lol Chopped/customized 62 Belair bubbletop. Exterior paint is lacquer, gloss black on top and candy tangerine fades over slightly orange tinted white pearl:
