3men2s Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I have this kit and eventually one day I will do it, now, the decals for sure are tosted. Were did you get the decals to do the rebuilt, did your friend got them from a aftermarket source or he just had them from a previous kit?

catpack68 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 i finally finished this one.i cleared over the decals before i applied them so they would not crack or break apart.i built it box stock.i used testors high gloss clear.i like the old mongram drag kits from the 80's.i have a few more of the pro-stock and f/c kits i want to do later on down the road.thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikelo Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 That turned out great. I saw him run that one out here at the Spring Nationals. I actually took some pictures of it. I built one too, in fact I just restored mine for the Good guys display last year. Those decals can be a pain. I remember having to put two layers of them on to get it to look right. Again, great job! Thanks for the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
