I finished this up last night, with the exception of license plate decals, which are at work, and final touch-ups. I enjoyed the build but it is a very fiddly little kit. I had to pull assemblies appart more than a few times to fix something that got broke or came appart. Sure made it difficult to keep it as clean as I wanted. 

Mods I made were nail polish paint job, using the front axle, tires and wheels from the Tony Nancy Jr dragster kit, parts box rear tires with hand painted whitewalls and handmade shifter since the kit one broke.

In the end it turned out OK. Now to safely transport it to work tomorrow and clean it up for display.

That came out great.

All those Roth kits are totally insane to try to build.  Great work on this one.

Very nice, but you forgot the headlight lenses.?

sweet job, looks fantastic

Thanks guys. I enjoyed it. If I ever feel like pulling my hair out I'll build the second one I have. I wanted to build one in Metallic Lavender and Pearl White.

Lol. Unless I lost them there were none. I think I will find some that fit from another kit. It definitely needs them.

Nice clean build

Very nice! Not your typical "Fad T," but definitely the kind of thing one could have seen in the early to mid-'60s. Well done and model on!

Yeah, I'm not big on the Fad T's from the late 60's - mid 70's. I much prefer this style.

So, this is why you never throw anything out.

I was in need of some small headlight lenses to fit in the buckets since this came with molded in headlights (if you even want to call them that). I opened my second parts box and lying right on top was this tree. No idea what kit they came from but with a bit of sanding to thin them out and a bit of polishing they will work perfectly.

Got the lights and license plates installed. Once the Canopy glue dries the lights will look better.
