Mopar Steelie's and BF Goodrich from Fireball Modelworks. Awesome stuff, I do recommend them. I jacked up one on the other side... Looks like a drivers side only display. Got the center caps drying at the moment.

Oddly enough, I had the card backer standing up and it fell about the time I snapped the picture. Figured I'd just use it... talk about product placement lol.

Went to my lead guitarists wedding today. Nice ceremony.. The 4 of us in the band came up with a prank to pull on the new bride. She's a teacher... We got together a glue stick, a highlighter,  #2 pencil and a small pack of crayons. Right before the bouquet toss, the groom slipped away to "hit the head". We handed off the items and slipped all of them up his sleaves. When it came time to take off the garter, Van Halen's "Hot for teacher" started... he pulled all these out, one at a time... The look on her face and eruption from the crowd were great... fun times!

Before I left I put the body, interior and chassis together...

Not going to give a full on look... It's getting closer and I'm liking the look to say the least. Can't wait to finish it up.

Thanks, Joe!

Those are resin tires from Fireball Modelworks.. Really good stuff. He does have decals, too... I have some, and they look great, but I haven't used them yet.

I have a few touch ups to do here and there, but I'm bout ready to call this one done... Let me say, I just love when everything on a kit goes as planned, then you screw everything up in the final stages. It was like everything I touched at the end was bound and determined to ruin it all, then lost the Plymouth circle decal for the emblem after it was already on the car for a day... and then I glued my fingers to the bottom of the front end, and ripped all the clear, paint, and primer off trying to get unstuck...ugh... Oh well, you live and learn... and rinse and repeat...
