Been working on this kit off and on for a while,  Going for a mild custom sleeper look. I used the bull nose option for hood since I didn't want to use ornament,     Not using either of the kit engines. Ha a glue bomb Cobra Mustang that I took motor from,  Going to keep body stock while using the custom tire option, so I thinned fenders and used xacto handle to flare them slightly,   Interior painted Rustoleum Satin Cinnamon with Future accents to show fabric from leather,    Body and frame painted Duplicolor Toyota Crème,    Body polished before clear,   Wheels an dash both painted body color,   Thanks for looking in, and as always, suggestions and comments welcomed |

Made some progress this weekend. Fixed my error with a can of satin clear by more coats of the correct gloss clear,    Exhaust painted gloss black followed by Rustoleum "chrome",   The way bumpers and grill attached to sprue meant chrome was somewhat damaged when removed. Both bumpers had bad seams on the ends, so sanding further killed chrome,  purple pond bath,  Kit was open when I got it and found several wheel mounts and trim rings. eBay to the rescue,  Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions are appreciated |

I had typed up a big update, and somehow the internets ate it. 20 minutes down the tube. So this wont be all that detailed, just a bunch of pictures. Bumpers, grill, and exhaust "chromed"  Interior finished. Foiled gauges and black washed,   Chassis finally done,   BMF installed,       Engine installed, still have to work on air filter,  Front end mock up,  Hopeful stance after narrowing some suspension components,  |

Looks real good Oscar. I have sure ridden in quite a few of these cars when I was a kid.
