Welp, it took me a little bit to finish this kit but I finally got it done and... I'm quite pleased with the result. This car had a couple paint issues mainly because it was the first car I airbrushed but I finally got them settled out, the color is testors red metallic flake with DupliColor filler primer and decanted Rustoleum enamel clear (only way I could spray it without it lifting the paint). There are not many things in the terms of modifications on this car. Really the only thing was the intake, where I shortened the carb mounting plate because originally they were too far apart, and parts box carbs/ air cleaners were added. The cool thing is when I told my grandfather that I picked this up from the LHS he said he built this kit back in the 70s as a kid. I didn't know that and thought it was pretty cool. I also happened to have some of his surviving models, low and behold, I HAVE HIS ORIGINAL BUILD UP! I was so happy and almost emedietly started building my kit. Oh and don't ask where the passengers side tail light went, I swear I don't know (6 tail light mod) Photo of his original build up. The back portion of the interior felt quite bare so I decided to add the racing fuel tank that comes with the kit. Of course it's my standard to at least do spark plug wires on each model. I decided to experiment with fuel lines to, turned out pretty well I think. It was a blast building this kit and was a pretty good learning opportunity for me. The struggles were worth it and I definitely learned how to avoid them. I guess now I clean off the bench and start another kit, what do you say fellas? Thanks for looking and I always appreciate your comments and feedback! Elliot
