Man that looks even better.

Where did the Cragars come from? I may have overlooked it, but reading back through I didn't find it...

Thanks, Steve and Jeremy! I appreciate your comments!  Jeremy, the Cragars came from the parts box. Normally, I put wheels and tires from each kit in a baggy and mark them as to which kit they came from but in this case I failed to do that. I'm not sure what kit they came from. Thanks for looking! ?

Great job on that JS27R0B ! Excellent colour choices ; awesome black paint !

As a side note - irrespective of your outstanding work - I notice the kit's inclusion of the shifter for the 3-speed manual. It's been that way since day one ; not sure if the later issues (the Vanishing Point release) includes the correct Pistol Grip shifter.

Keep up the great work !

Thanks, John! I had put a boot on a pistol grip shifter from another kit but it must have come from a 1/24th scale kit because it was way too tall on the console. 

This one is done! I made a convertible boot out of black masking tape over an index card cut to fit just as Steve Milberry suggested. Looks OK to me although I may try to cut another one a little bigger to crinkle it a bit. I just used the hood prop for display purposes. I previously posted photos with the hood closed. I had also tried to use a decal for the side stripe from another previous build but I could see the black ghosting through and I could tell it was going to flake off anyway because the decal is too old.  Here are the final photos.

Thanks, Steve. No I don't have any plans for the orange body and I don't think all the parts are there. I know the windshield and tailpipes are missing. Not sure about the rest of the parts. I got my money's worth out of this purchase.
