This is a build that almost never was.  It started as an eBay purchase gone wrong - a glue bomb that was advertised as "complete" & "some minor, partial assembly".  I was going to throw out the model when I decided to attempt my first "Chop".  This is the result  
-chopped top (obviously)  
-stretched hood to accommodate the rake of the grill  
-scratch built vent on the cowl  
-grafted the trunk from the Revell 5-window kit (No - its not a direct fit!!)  
-resin wheels+tires  
-everything else was sourced from my "parts box"  
Finish is flat black, over red oxide primer, over matt aluminum BMF
