Thank you everyone! dwc43, I had debated with myself over having the graffiti or not and I chose to go with the graffiti on the side since that is the way the car was in the beginning of the show. It shows how he is disliked or even hated by the APD (Atlanta Police Department). If you don't remember, the car was repainted for nothing by Paul Campano. I'm not sure if I would do another Porsche 911 Targa.

Finished! My Will Trent 1973 Porsche Targa. I think I used a 1984 model and converted it to a 1973 model. Not my best work, but a decent representation of Will's Porsche.

I have finished my Will Trent's 1973 Porsche 911 Targa and it is posted in Under Glass. I would like to thank all those who have viewed, commented and helped me on this build.

I finished the 390 CI engine minus the air cleaner decal and installed it into the chassis. The chassis is finished with all parts painted and installed. Now to start on the interior.

I wanted some valve covers that had the printing on them that said "Powered By Ford" and those where the only ones I had in my parts box. I know they are wrong, but they are close to what I want. I have changed my mind about the color and maroon is out. I have decided on Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red instead.

Thanks Ricky! I have been detailing many things in this kit and I am not done yet. The 390 CI engine is being worked on. I found some chrome valve covers in my parts box and added them to the engine. The kit instructions wanted me to paint their valve covers and I opted not too.

The chassis so far and I guess it is about as complete as it going to be. The steering wheel in the kit looked like it came from a NASCAR kit and so I dug into my parts box and found this and it needed some holes drilled into the spokes for a little more pizazz. Since this is a "day 2" car, it looks at home.

Thank you Alan!

Thanks D.W.!

I added my chrome parts last night. The only part I wasn't able to add was the antenna base which I immediately lost when I removed it from the sprue. On to decals and then I think it's done!

Looks great! I have a special place in my heart for Buicks as my parents owned a '60 LeSabre and a '65 Wildcat.

I painted the chassis and I washed the body today.

I painted the chassis today and washed the body and hood of the 442.

The Story McNally plots again to have Hawk take another shot at Jacob Anderson as he dines with friends that he knows. Hawk takes a shot at Jacob and he quickly leaves the scene in the beat-up sounding old car that McNally provided having to be careful to shoot above Jacob's head at the fence. Jacob is definitely getting nervous! The Build I added another two coats of Tamiya TS-54 Light Blue Metallic to the Charger body today. It looks great!

The small parts that are to be chromed have been done.

Thanks John! I'm hoping for something more than just good! The modeler's block is something I am trying to kick and this sure seems to be a way to defuse it!

Thanks Carl! This is a nice kit and so far, it is assembling up very well.

I spent a little time on the 442 installing the front and rear suspensions. Then I painted the exhaust system with Tamiya XF-16 Flat Aluminum and Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver. The chassis and suspensions will be painted the Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black.

I started some assembly on the chassis. I assembled the rear end and left it in the chassis overnight to harden and then I'll paint everything with Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black.

I have been going through some sort of modeler's block. I haven't felt like working on anything in a while. I still have two other projects that need simple finishing and I haven't felt like working on them at all. They'll get done!

mk11, I got your email. Thanks!

Interesting! I followed the instructions to the letter and even they are wrong. They show the widest part at the top. Thank you for pointing the error of my ways, or should I say the instructions ways. I corrected the misleading valve covers and turned them around. I looked at my '72 Hurst Cutlass Convertible and the valve covers are on the correct way with the wider section at the bottom.

Another project that I had started work on-'67 Merc Cyclone GT. To be built as a second day car with wide Goodyears and Cragar SS mags and painted with Tamiya TS-11 Maroon.

A project that I started work on-'71 Olds 442 W-30. This will be built stock with an automatic transmission and painted with Tamiya TS-43 Racing Green.
