Hi Everyone,

I decided to go back to the models I built over the months and fix them up to look better. Would appreciate any suggestions on how to make them look even better.

Here is what I started with (If there is any errors in the years I put in please let me know and I will fix them :) ):

Here is what I have done so far:

Dream Car. I removed the fog lights, tried to make the chassis fit a bit better and fixed the rear valence. Removed rear Chevy bowtie decal, painted on a new one and removed excess from rear license plate decal. Also painted the front bumper scoop, hood scoop indent (outdent? lines? idk...), door handles, side vents and rear spoiler black. Sorry, it's still a little dusty from sitting on the shelf for a few months.

Ladybug. I repainted parts of the rear section so there is not that much white space showing (places I had missed). Added on a custom bug deflector, vent visors and sunroof deflector. Painted the "SRT" red and lug nuts black on the rims.

Golden Guitar! Came with the Magnum kit.

4x4. So far on the Jeep, I have painted the hood details, door hinges and locks black. Planning on adding two antennas: one just in front of the windshield, before the hood line on the passenger side, and one on the passenger side of the rear bumper. Will post an updated picture after I do so.

Light Recon. Have not done anything on the Ram yet. I plan on adding nerf bars, custom rear bumper with lights, and either a bull bar or a full push bar with lights on the front. Decided to keep the wheels the way they are as I do not have any other and no money to order bigger ones. Looks fairly acceptable regardless.

Heavy Muscle. For the Chevelle, I do not know what more to add-on/fix. I have made the hood fit a lot better though.

Anyway, that's my plan. Will update as more gets done. At this rate, it seems like I am in stuck a long-term work-in-progress mode with my models, but it's kinda fun...good thing I don't have a new one to play with...

Comments/suggestions are always appreciated. Hope you liked reading/looking through this. Feel free to post your own little updates/re-do's as well!

Until next time...

Thanks!
