Ira Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 Lights and all, it looks real good! Thank you Dr.!
Ira Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 But it says HEMI!!! The HEMI engine cuts off at the body line, nothing under there. So I decided to add to the illusion, I added spark plug lines! The lines just go through holes that I drilled in the engine opening.
Dr. Cranky Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 That's a great solution, and to use your word "illusion!" The paint and decal work are very nice. I've always loved those Skull graphics.
Ira Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) The Z-28 kit came with molded in tail lights... I wanted to put some clear red tail lights on instead, but couldn't find the right size set in the parts box. I ended up using headlights and painting them, red and amber, on the inside.
