very nice, I like the flat color graphics over the glossy metalic paint job.

this thing mean business.

There were no windows so I made a windshield from sheet plastic. The headlights were painted with a mix of clear and white to tone down the chrome. (They don’t look so white in person…)

Oh, somehow I've missed this thread before. Luckily found it now. Nice to see Monza being built, and you're doing very good job with this. IMSA Style looks actually quite good in this body style, keep it going.

Hmm.... did you modify the rear because it doesn't look anything like the rear on my kit. Was there more than one kit?

First sentence in the first post in this thread:

"This started out as an old late ‘70’s Sunbird by Revell."

"I am using the customized Sunbird rear end."

Sorry missed that.

Rob, is that the one you stuffed a Nascar chassis into?

[Jon Cole]

The rear on that car looks like a 240Z. That's not a bad thing.

Agreed! And that is exactly why I used it and even painted the recessed area that metallic gray.

Yep sure is. It was a lot of fun. I did it for the original Cannonball CBP on the SA forums. There's more pics in my album. Finished pics on page 3 of the main album and the WIP is in the Captain Chaos Special sub-album.
