This is my firsrt U.G finish since I signed up here, and is pretty much box stock. Only real modification was ditching the stock intake and using an old-school Nascar kit intake. The one in the kit (and 85 T/A) is awkward and I didn't like using it at all. This wasn't bad to put together overall. My gripes are the rear window doesn't sit in right which is probably my own fault. I had the rear spoiler on before window assembly and it made a chore getting the window in. I also attempted to modify the suspension to lower it and in doing so made a laugh of the drivers front tire, and passenger rear. This one will get redone at some point and I'll probably gift this one away. Paint is Rust-oleum painters touch sun yellow, future clear.

Thanks, i wish i had cut the front of it down more and slid it forward a bit. That way my air box assembly would sit more flush on the front rail.

Thanks, the kit is pretty neat once put together. I'm glad they repopped this not long ago. Mine was the original early 90s version.

It totally looks like the car from "the big hit" with Mark Walberg. Tried to find a youtube clip but no luck.

Nice build!

Looks very good. :) I'll be honest: if you hadn't said anything about the rear windshield, I wouldn't have noticed at all, and it's still hard to spot. :) Good Work!
