I started messing with this last night. Shaved the vinyl top and the side trim. Threw a coat of primer on and still a little more work to do.

Color wise, Im toying around with the idea of Purple, blue and electric pink color scheme.

Wow, its been a while on this one. After having it sit in primer for a couple weeks, I decided to paint it. Yea, that didnt go over well at all. I accidentally layed too much and got a run.

Well, I stripped the paint

Cleaned it up and reshot it with primer

Still had a few rough areas to work out, so I worked on the interior.

The dash that came in this package was from the revell Cadillac.

But it wouldnt work, so I took the dash from the Toronado kit and trimmed it to fit.

So now I went back to work on the body and got a nice color of paint on it.

But not satisfied, I decided to mask and use another color as well.

Now I am starting to use the gel pens to do seperation lines and a few of my touches.

Hoping to clear this tomorrow.

Which kit is this? I will watch this with much interest. Thanks for laying in out as a semi tutorial.

It was actually a Johan promo.

Ok. I was curious if it was a Donk. I attempted to build a Donk as a standard car but didn't have spare axles. (I have unbuilt kits but haven't bashed any). Thanks. Its looking good. Your interior is clean.
