hedotwo Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Slow progress, but progress. Spent time getting the interior to fit correctly to allow the stance to be better than what the kit wanted. This AMT 71 kit is basically pretty sketchy when it comes to stock stance. It was way too high to look natural IMO. After getting the stance where I wanted it I began work on the side pipe, having to shorten the length more to what I had. Also foiled the side marker lights and used clear orange and clear red. I made the flag "sticker" decals for the front fenders and applied. Last thing I was able to finish was cutting the headlights to allow them to fit deep into the headlight buckets rather than the stock "bugeye" look. Hoping to get more done this coming week... Below is a mockup of the side pipe before I cut it shorter. Edited March 12, 2022 by hedotwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
