Been staring at this one for a little while, not knowing if I'd ever build it or not.

Decided to peel it open and see what it looks like... Gotta say, it's a nice looking pile of parts. Started sanding to address some minor issues, put it in primer to check it out.

Not to shabby... now to wet sand the primer and decide on where to go from here.

Indeed it is. Had a lot of fun building it some years ago and I still have two of these as donor kits for parts. I think you will enjoy this build. Though I customised it, I had no fitting issues...

Oliver, I've looked at your awesome Caddy several times in the last couple weeks. Glad you popped in here.

Nice looking Caddy so far.  I use to see this kit at HL all the time but haven't seen any in some time now.

Smoothed out the primer... first time doing this... Gotta respray and sand again. I'm going to try to make this my best paint job to date.

Also decided to go with Tamiya Pearl Green for it. Sprayed the engine compartment just to see.. yeah I dig it.

Was hoping to get the color sprayed today, but I'm gonna run out of daylight before I can get to it.

Thanks guys...

David that is a sweet looking Vette...

I don't usually like these colors, but in last little bit they've started to grow on me. Just finished up a Chezoom kit in this color.
