I’ve been messing with this car for the last few weeks. I do a little bit, then I take a break. I’ve been busy with other things around the house. 
I just wanted it to be a clean looking drag car. Used some resin engine parts, and I moved the springs in to fit larger tires, and this time I wanted to try my hand at foiling under paint. After getting some pointers from Steven Guthmiller, (thanks Steve)… I still think I need a bit more practice on the emblems. I need to get the scalpel closer to the emblems, as I trim. I have many more builds I can practice on. Hoping to get the rest of the body foiled today. Almost ready for final assembly.

Thanks everyone. 
Chris, they are Comp Resin from Slixx. 
Got it foiled today. Not the easiest car to foil, but not the hardest either. I plan on having it all buttoned up by tomorrow.

Got the car finished. Not real happy with the way it turned out, because of the rear tire choice, and stance and all. I definitely need to practice on the foil under paint technique too. But here it is finished. I suppose it doesn’t look “too” bad as I’ve seen many of these cars sit high in the rear. Time to move on to another project.

A stick shift mopar bracket car?  Lol.  Excellent electrical and wiring work.  Too late to stick some other slicks on?  A lot of effort here on making it right.   What tach and bolt heads for shoulder harness?

I think it turned out very well, it has a 80s street/strip car look to it. Nice job

Agreed. I like the stance, and your finish is fine, even the foil work. Well done and model on! B)
