Nice. Give us more photos and explanations about your construction techniques. Like how did you modify the suspension to drop it. I am not a car builder(yet) and want to be able to attempt a car. Thanks for posting up on the forum. Don't forget we meet the first Tuesday each mont at Hobbytown. Come out and join us, if you are in Tulsa.

Looks really great! The classics are my favorites in terms of auto builds.

I think that the finish is spot on and for the life of me I will never see how you guys get such a high gloss finish.. Spoit on.

I have this finished now the suspension is lowered on it by removing plastic at the mounting points of the spring in the rear and the axle in the front. The paint has 8 coats of Testors wet look clear once it set for bout a month I polished it with polishing pads. I Started with 4000 grit then 6000 then 8000 then last one was 12000 grit. I then polished it with Wizards Polishing compound.
