The last of the decals were applied and then it was cleared.

Shot my Camaro replica at the same time…

Hi Mark,

  Beautiful paint and decal on both of your cars!

I'm inspired! I want to start building more of these types of builds myself. Looking forward to seeing this complete. It looks like the real car!

The rear suspension and exhaust were painted to match the photos…

and then installed into the chassis.

that looks fantastic

This is just waaaay too cool! I used to work on these things in the dealer all the time. Great replication so far.

Thanks guys!

 

I painted most of the black trim, so far all by hand brushing.  I’ll probably spray the A-pillars…

The glass is in.  The windshield fit fine, but the rear glass was apparently warped since it was too wide at the front edge to fit.  I have built a few of these kits and this is the only one I had this issue with, and it was a sealed kit when I started it.

To make it fit I put it in a bar clamp to bring the edges in and hit it with a hair dryer, then let it set overnight.  It fit just fine then.

The lights are also installed.  The rear side marker lights protrude a bit, but the others fit well.

I made the underhood light with a big drop of the unmixed part of the top of a bottle of white paint.

My car has fake C/F on the little triangular parts in front of the windows, so I used “real” C/F decals.

I made valve stems for the wheels and painted the caps blue like the real car.

Really nice details
