I have learned a lot going into this build. Actually taping up before gluing. Gluing parts before painting when I can. Here is one night of work. Can't wait. My brother in law what's a purple and white TCU car for his office desk. Let the fun begin.

I agree that this year goat is very cool.  Looking forward to more pics.

Here is the mock up so far. This is the first time (BC I am still learning) I took the time to dry fit, prime, and dry fit again. All going together. My new Paasche VL dual action airbrush and compressor are coming in tomorrow!!!! Can't wait. Now I am using acrylic paint, can I still go over the body with enemal lacquer or is that a no no?

Looking good, as for the lacquer paint your going to need a good coat of automotive primer as the Lacquer is a hot paint and may harm the plastic if not primer correctly.

thanks John. Any alternative if I go another route for clear coat after paint?

You can use lacquer and enamel clear over lacquer paint but you can't use lacquer over enamel paint.

Did the steering column arrive yet.
