This is box stock except for a few locating tabs and rivets on the front runner and scrap styrene inside the blower intake (to cover the seam). The drag chute cord is string. For a more nostalgic look, I went with the traditional headers in the kit as opposed to the 'up-swept' headers. I used Krylon Pistachio Satin for the color. Thank you for looking, and thank you and for any comments.
