I seen this kit a few weeks ago and it looks nice. Gonna pick it up next time I'm out at the hobby shop.

Revell did an AWESOME job on this model. As someone posted here before, they spent $148,000 on the molds. Kudos to Revell for making a great kit!!

More progress!

I touched up the places on the parts where the sprue was attached with Testors Chrysler Engine Red bottle paint.

Thanks for looking!

Looks good so far. These latest pictures aren't the best, but I can see your progress. Engine looks very good so far, keep it going. I like this kit, it's awesome as you said earlier. Can't wait to see more!

Thanks! I din't use the tripod for these pics, so they were blurry.

[Mr. Moparman]

Looking good buddy!

Thanks! One thing I love about these funny cars is that you don't have a ton of parts, and then they go together faster. I have some leftover Tamiya TS-18 metallic red paint, that's what I'll paint it with. Yes, it's not exact, but I'm too cheap to buy another can of paint when I have some that looks similar.

*Update*

Got the chassis finished. (I just have to finish the spark plug wires on the left side)

Body Painted

Using Tamiya TS 18 Metallic Red. Can was half full when I started. Well, then can started spitting started spitting HOPEFULLY, I will be able to wet sand it out. The camera didn't focus on it very good, but it's really noticeable.

Did you have trouble painting the seatbelts? I'm makin the same model and I'm having a little trouble

[Mooneyzs]

Looking good so far

Thanks guys!

Troy, I didn't have any trouble with the seatbelts. I used Testors Chrylser Engine red enamel paint, and brushed it on. After that dried I used a toothpick dipped in Testors silver paint to do the buckles. Hope this helps
