Body work just about complete. Mock up from last April.

Mission accomplished! It took a while, but its done.

Rear wheel openings moved forward

"Miss Deal" chassis pan, engine, & drivetrain

Tamiya Metallic Green paint with Tamiya Lime highlights

Alclad window trim (looks much better than foil IMO)

Aftermarket Parts: Driver's door handle

Blower belt and pullys

Seat belt hardware

Wrinkle wall slicks

Cool model! I just started doing trim with alclad and I agree it looks better. BMF is still easier, though and less nerve wracking. I like the wheelie stance and the wrinklewalls. Perhaps needs a driver!
