Down to the short list now folks. 1. Paint bottom of hood 2. Chrome front and rear bumpers and detail out the front one. 3. Paint all side marker lenses 4. Install the outside rearview mirror 5. Detail and install all emblems and badging I now have the stance exactly where I want it. Lemme tell ya.....it took some fancy foot work to pull this off because despite all of my test fitting along the way, things did NOT want to go according to plan. This is the last update before the completed shots are posted gang.    |

Okeedokee folks. After a LONG time of working on this bad boy, I finally put the finishing touches on her and managed to get drug this one across the finish line. There was a lot of planning and forethought involved in this build primarily in the areas of overall stance and wheel/ tire position relative to wheel openings that had to be dealt with but I stuck with it. I had to build a complete unpainted kit to help me out with what to do in regard to stance and the dashboard to windshield fit issues that I had so thankfully I had that. I'm pretty happy with the outcome but the front bumper fought me the whole way and after two attempts and applying Alclad I gave up and used the OOB bumper treated with a coat of Tamiya Smoke to tone down the toy chrome look some.

Beautiful job Joe! Fun to see the progress! Thank you Joe. I've got another auto build coming up that I'll post here soon but it'll be drawn out quite a bit longer than this one was.  |
