Just a build I did after seeing one on here. This is a car I had in High School and even though the paint was shot, the engine, drivetrain was strong (I broke a 140 mph speedo in it, in a long straight-a-way one night, stupid, but I was young and 10ft. tall and bullet proof). I wish I still had this car. Anyways on to the pics (yes the paint is acurate to the 1:1). Im still looking for pics, this was back in 88 or so)....

Mine had coil overs on the shocks to give it enough lift on the rear for the wider tires though. I didnt do any pics of the engine as its not acurate (I had a FE 390 in mine). It looks close enough like my car back then though....Thanks for looking. Mark

Nice job on the weathered paint. How did you do it?

I painted it a gloss blue and then took nail files/buffers to it. Im not sure its the correct way, but on this it worked pretty well (considering this was my first attempt). My car was de-badged, so I wasnt to worried about some of the emblems and such.
