realgone58 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Super nice build! Ironic that I chose the same color combo for mine! You are correct in not foiling the trim on the landau top. They had painted trim from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to ask, where did you get the factory full wheels covers for the orange and white build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Beautiful build!! I built one for my wife because that is one of her dream cars. Wish I’d paid attention about the vinyl top trim. Now I’ll have to redo it or my OCD will drive me nuts 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I didn't feel the need to foil the perimeter of the vinyl top I still think it looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Curtis. Fortunately I picked up four of these before the prices went sky high in the past year or so. I've seen the conversions with the 3D parts and they look very good.

skmodelcars Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 GREAT build! Love the color scheme! I did something like this with the blue Wheels of Fire issue. Triple blue with rally wheels and white striped tires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those received stick on chrome trim around the edges. So seeing a Monte Carlo with the chrome trim would not have been uncommon. Your model looks too good as it sits to attempt removal of the trim. In my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
