It is a real beauty for certain, Brett. It would sure be nice if Revell would correct the tops of the front fenders. They are not sharply creased but rounded. Apolo White or Saturn yellow were the only two colors in 1970. For some reason these names were chosen because of the NASA space program. MCG makes a photo etch set for this that really makes the detail pop. You can paint the red in the fender badges and they look real.

Brett awesome job, my best friend, more like a brother has a 1:1 in yellow and yes he does have an original stage II motor going in the car right now. I believe they only made 75 sets of those heads and cams, you had to have stage II done as a dealer install car comes as a stage 1 car from factory and was then modified at the dealer level.

You did a very nice job on this one.

This kit was one of the first i ever built. Mine was white as well but with a verrry runny and finger printed paint job haha.

I have this kit as well, and look forward to building it as nice as you. I like the selection of rims in the kit :)
