RESIN 73 MONTEGO GT BODY. THIS WAS A VERY DIFFICULT CAR TO PAINT!

Looks very good to me. I know how challenging resin can be. What donor kit are you using?

The chassis is a combination of a stretch AMT Tbird, Johan Oval Racer Torino and Polar Lights 69 Torino.

Pls some resin parts.

Ace Decals. The Purolator on the rear is Powerslide.

Real nice job on this!  I got one of these bodies a while back, and I plan to do the same subject.  What did you use for the glass?

Nice work, Gerald. I've got two of those resin bodies you produced and one is for sure getting this Pearson treatment. What did you use for primer on the body? And what did you use to produce those great dashboard gauges?
