Tim Richmond Monte Carlo

[Scottnkat]

I have finished this Monte Carlo kit. The kit was missing the window glass, but a kind gentleman from a NASCAR board had an extra set of windows that he sent to me. The rear glass was broken when I received it, but I made due - heck, the windows were free and I am never gonna complain about getting something for free. I added the plumbing for the rear end cooler. I changed out the seat for a more correct one. I cut out the plastic window net and made one instead. I dumped the radiator hose and used some metallic-wrapped wire. I modified the headers so they don't wrap under the oil pan. The decals were bad so I had to soak them, remove the glue, then put them on with Future. Once the decals were all done, I went over the whole car with a coat of Future. Here's the pics:

Here's what the underside looks like:



And finally, here's a shot under the hood:
