Hi,

I have just joined the forum and forget an introduction post, I'll use the first post to say top job, I love the attention to detail, you have a lot of patience and it'a paying off for you. I have pre ordered the belkits escort and this is getting me excited for it, although it won't be a patch on your effort.

Keep up the amazing work mate.

Fireball's wheel set looks even better painted. Color is a little on the dark side, but the car will be dark blue so I think it will be fine.

This model is really coming along nicely. I am looking forward to seeing it at the upcoming Mid-Atlantic NNL.

Thanks Randy. No removable valve caps or threaded lock nuts like you would have done but they add a bit of detail.

Thanks Dale. I hope to have it on the primer table at least.

That'll look nice JC.

Thanks Shay. Yea next to the dark blue of the car the wheels wont look as dark. I like the '78 livery with the red/green nose stripes, like in your photo. However I am building the '79 championship winning livery that doesn't have those stripes.
