Noah H. Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Looking forward to seeing this one come together. I've not seen this kit before, so I'll be interested how it builds up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledsel Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 That is a really nice kit that goes together well but in my opinion the provided tires are way to small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 A few more things stuck together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyB Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Looking good Pat. I like the color combo. Just so you know on the real car the rear defogger and speaker grills should be all black. While the speaker grill surrounds are a separate piece of metal and could be painted any color you like. The defogger is molded in black plastic and the grill and surround are all one piece.

Here is a pic of the defogger and the factory speaker grill. Sorry if this is too much information but not all cars came with the defogger. In some states it was mandatory, like New Jersey where this car came from, and they had them from the factory. It could also be ordered as an option. Additionally there was a dealer installed defogger but it was completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Not my best effort, I think my age is catching up to me. Well....I have to blame it on something.😌 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyB Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 No, blame it on the guy in the tie if you have to blame something (someone). 🤔 Seriously, it looks fine, and how often do we get to see a nicely finished Talladega? 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad had a 1968 Mustang and he talked about how he had wide tires on it. I found a picture of it a while back and those wide tires were probably narrower than those on a stock Camry these days.
