Hi Boys,
Finally built/finished up; these new kits have relit that fire under my ass to build. I gotta give credit to Revell for a great kit. Pleasantly surprising to build, I can't wait for the SS's.
I took a snap Fusion nose and put it on the new glue kit. I used a grille that I cast from a diecast. Yes, I know I was looking to sell the grille's but I could never perfect casting them without mould or cast air bubble issues so I scrapped the idea.
I chopped the rear spoiler down to 4.5" to match the plate rules from 2014 and I added the rear bumper close out piece and rear quarter extensions. Decals from Miguel and a big thanks to Jason for the rear bumper lower valence decal. The body was painted with Testors One Coat White Lighting and Tamiya TS15 Blue. I bought a trading cards on eBay that has a piece of sheetmetal in it, and the 2 car is in fact pearl white.
I added the missing roll bars in the interior, 2nd fire extinguisher and fuel line, hockey puck roof cam, extended the window net forward, wired the dash and coil packs, and probably some other stuff I'm already forgetting lol.
As always, thanks for looking
Joe
