Duddly01 Posted August 31, 2024 Author Posted August 31, 2024 Quite a bit more paint and detail done. carpet flocking done for the interior painted the cougar styled steel wheels I resin casted from an original annual set I got on eBay. I like these much better than the kit wheels. installed the decals. Now I wait for a couple days to 2K clear the body, then wet sand and polish. painted and assembled the front and rear bumpers. installed inboard lenses that won’t get LEDs. before emblems after emblems. 3

Duddly01 Posted September 1, 2024 Author Posted September 1, 2024 Today I got the engine put together. The Boss 302 that came with the kit was actually quite nice but I did add a 3d printed Holley Carb from MCV products. Added plug wires, vacuum and fuel line. The carb was pinned so the air cleaner could be taken on and off. I detail painted the chassis but still need to add fuel and brake lines. Just trial fit. I also did a trial fit of the scratch made engine compartment with the engine and chassis. I did have to make some additional mods to make it all fit together. I really like how the resin cast wheels turned out. I also 2K cleared the body this evening. Tiny bit of trash in the hood but I think it will come out during the wet sand and polish phase. 2
Maindrian Pace Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 One fine kitty, that engine bay is a stunner. The added bail wire on the master cylinder is a nice, almost always overlooked touch. 1

Duddly01 Posted September 2, 2024 Author Posted September 2, 2024 Got a little more detailing done today. Added heater hoses, wiring and decals to the engine compartment. Added trunk mat material to the trunk floor and spare tire/battery cover. added fuel, brake lines and emergency brake cables to the chassis. Permanently attached the exhaust and differential. 1
Duddly01 Posted September 2, 2024 Author Posted September 2, 2024 (edited) Detailed interior, added seatbelts, gauge decals, etc. Lots of photo-etch. bare metal foil on the light enclosure, liquid electrical tape to seal. detail and paint basically complete. Once I wet sand and polish the body it will be time for assembly. Edited September 2, 2024 by Duddly01 3

Hoping to get to wet sanding and polishing this week. Giving the 2K plenty of time to cure.
