I guess this almost going to be a out of box build, using the kit decals for this one, I redid the fuel lines, kind of ish removed the one molded in, and replaced it with the correct two ( fuel line/return line) I also added the wedge adjustment bolts and track bar adjustment bolt, I used .88MM rod, thinking I need to go down one more size. Also replaced the kit seat with one from previous NASCAR glue kits, and added one of the missing roll bars.    Added some wiring to the engine, again, I think I need to go down one size, used the new tubing from Tamiya and still waiting on the two smaller sizes, used .80. Pretty much used a bunch of different Metalizer paints on the engine.  |

Moving forward, removed the oversized wiring, almost embarrassed that I even posted a photo of it. Typical Revell kit though, needed work on the ride hight, after some work, got the ride height to a more realistic height. I drilled out the center of the wheel back, glued it to the brake's and then mounted it , side stepping the metal pins.   |

Body is painted, but I sort of somehow forgot to mask off an area on both sides, after removing the black, and some of the white, I need to tend to that before I can proceed. I used from the can Tamiya white and black.   |

Did you just use gloss white and gloss black for the colors? Also is the front splitter on the body?

Where did you get the missing decals from? I'll probably do this livery once those decals are available. I really hate that they omit alcohol decals from models because its considered a toy, cause kids learn to drink from their toys, and not their parents.
