The car came out ok, but I had a lot of issues with the kit. First it is molded in red and black. The paint did not want to stick, so I had to do a couple of coats, and it still doesn't quite look right. There were a few fit issues, and I'm not big on the ride hight. I realize the car in the show had a pretty high ride height, but it doesn't look right to me. The stripe also didn't quite want to go on right either. Still not bad. I need to go back and add some color to the grill, but I didn't have anything small enough to fit in there just yet so i could paint it.   |

That looks good mate, and brings back a lot of memories watching these guys when i was a youngster.
A little tip, to do your grill , thin some black paint, so it is watery, then brush it all over the grill insert, then run your finger across the top,
This will take the paint of the top of the chrome slats, and leave the black in the lower parts, and give you the effect you want for the grill mate.

I'm planning to, I had just finished the build and wanted to get the pics in before it rained again. I'm on the NC/SC state line and it's been a little wet around here the past few months. |

I hear you on the ride height, even when the show was out, I thought it was too high. |

Maybe the ride height had something to do with the police package for it.
