That is awesome!! I definitely want one!

Here are the pictures I took...

This is another area that I've spent a tremendous amount of time mulling over. I actually mocked up a single headlight option and the dual headlight option for two different pictures and posted a poll on a Facebook Modeling page and put it to a vote. Lol. I was originally leaning towards the single headlights but the dual headlight version won by a landslide. While I do build for myself, I also take other people's opinions to heart. I figured if the voting leaned so far in the direction of the dual headlights, it must be the way to go. I've since accepted them and like them myself. But rest assured, it's not over until it's on the car! I'm STILL thinking about it. Lol

Your kind words are the motivation that keeps this daunting project bumping along! It is REALLY appreciated!

I'm so limited with time from about April to October that I'm lucky if I log on 4-5 times during that time period. However, I probably get on 3-4 times a week in the winter. I end up missing a lot of posts throughout the year so I really enjoy the year in review posts. It gives me a chance to not only see a bunch of stuff I missed, but it's nice to see what one person can get done in one year. I'm astounded by the talent in this group!

Awesome!!

Or you can get one from the Moebius '65 Plymouth Satellite.

I've been with Fotki for 8 years. Zero complaints. So easy to use and no BS.

Thank you all so much! I'm taking some time off from work to hang around the house with the family for Christmas break. I'm hoping to have this thing in color by the end of this week!

I went back and forth with myself on whether I should put the roof scoop back on the car. I kept working it over, trying it on, thinking about it, working on it some more, repeat. Once I got it whittled down to a size that I thought was more appropriate, I decided that it had to go back on. Admittedly, it was probably what saved this car's life. When I was about to throw it in the garbage, the scoop on the roof was something that I kinda liked about the car so it just seemed appropriate that it went back on. Plus, it was something the original builder had done so here it is. As you can see in my previous posts, I was able to get it free from the roof where it was glued on. I somehow was able to remove it without much damage to the roof or the scoopy thing. I then removed the upholstered sides from the scoop and then I went to work slimming it down considerably. It's probably a 1/3 of it's original size but I feel that it looks more fitting to the car and the theme this way. Also, I scribed out the front of the hood opening as it was lost when I installed the grill surround. I went back and forth with a couple of design ideas there but ultimately decided to do it with a rounded opening. I'm pretty much down to cleaning up the back end of the car now. I'll be excited to be done with body work! Lol

That turned out great Jason!

Case in point...? Lol

After removing all of the putty that the original builder put on the body, I was left with these holes right behind the doors on both sides. I could easily fill them but I thought it would be cool to french in dual stubby antennas instead. I'm sure there are a 100 ways to do this but this is how I did it. The original hole: I had to make the hole just a tad larger and then inserted this styrene tube I had. The tighter the fit, the better. I pushed it through the bottom far enough that I could attach sheet styrene to the bottom of it. Then I pushed it back up through and glued it in place. The combination of the snug fit of the styrene tube and CA glue makes for a seamless joint. After sanding and primer, this is the result.

This one is also quite early.

Thanks guys!

Good to know! Thank you!

I got the body painted white (again) last week. I didn't want to subject you to a picture of that again as I had already posted a picture of my first white paint job (that didn't work out). Lol. The second round of white went much better. Then, this morning, I masked off and painted the roof red.

I'll be watching this one.

I didn't realize this was a different kit from Revell's earlier offerings in the 80's/90's. Good to know!

I've heard some horror stories when it comes to those flame masks but you seem to have had a pretty good go at it. Looks great!

AWESOME build! LOVE that color!!

Wow! That's really nice!!

A double thanks for the heads up on this! I was waiting for some paint to dry on another project so I had a couple of minutes to knock this out. Here's what we had before: So I started by scribing it right in front of the trim which was super easy to do with it being raised the way it was. I then sanded it down smooth And shot it in primer. Took me all of about 4 minutes.
