Finally finished this one up, took way too long but they all do...   ( theres a build thread in the work bench section if your interested ! )

To summerize...

Paint was done with a few white primer coats, it was then painted chrome, then thin coats of bronze metallic, 4 or 5 coats of clear, then polished out !
Each layer was wet sanded before spraying the next !
I love the colour it changes in the light, still not upto some peoples level but its getting better !
 
Scratch bits include the dash, centre console, firewall, engine bay, radiator surround, exhaust tips and the intake system.
Also smoothed the front valence, door handles, mirrors and rain gutters.
The bumpers were thinned and added closer to the body, and the front and rear lights tinted, rear valence removed ( but i might add it back later when ive cut holes in it ! )
 
Photoetch steering wheel, number plate surrounds, bonnet pins, tamiya disc brakes, and the suspension chopped about to slam it  ( notice the sump scratched ! )
 
Had to add Foose plates, as a tribute !   sponsor decals add to the SEMA look i like to imagine !
 
Thanks for looking,   loads of pics now !

That's a great tribute, show it to Foose, I'd say ?

Good choice to ditch the exhaust tips, they were to big imho. Looking at the rest of the build, I trust you'll come up with a great solution.

At "SEMA in Scale" * this would be a great showpiece. Well done.
