Thanks Paul.  Once I get the trim on it should really bring it all together.

I was going to start wet sanding today but the body is still soft to the touch and I put a small fingerprint on it.  It has sat for over 3 days and 24 hrs of that was in my Easy Bake Oven.  I guess it's all the humidity we are having right now.  The humidity is sticking around until Saturday so looks like I'm in a holding pattern for a week or so.  I have it back in my Easy Bake Oven for now.

That stance coupled with the wheel/ tire combo is looking great bud. I don't blame you for not touching the paint job till later on either. It'd be a shame to get fingerprints in that paint work at this point in the build.

Finally....10 days later and 24 hrs in the Dehydrator the Tamiya X-22 Clear was dry enough to be wet sanded and polished out so I got after it this morning.

I admire your perseverance on this build. Almost there and looks like it'll be well worth it.

Much obliged John.  I think I dodged a bullet on the paint job.

Beautiful looking paint job. Now aren't you glad you kept after this one after all you went thru with the first paint job.
