Here's after the initial work on the chassis, drivetrain and exhaust system: I applied a subtle wash to the undersides to bring out some of the details and add some depth. I also hit up the leaf springs and differential edges lightly with a silver lead pencil:

I sure appreciate it. I've sat around a few days thinking the same thing.

Wheels are spot on. That was always a nit with me that some think close enough is good enough. Ruins the overall look IMO. Paul

You did a great job on those wheels and tires. That is going to be one sweet build.

You did a great job on those wheels and tires. That is going to be one sweet build. Thanks Stevie. This'll be my second go round with these door panels as I didn't prime them before painting the first time and the paint lifted when I tried to apply the BMF to the trim areas. Bummer! So I stripped them and began with priming this time but ended up using Molotow Chrome the second time instead of BMF. Picked up this new acrylic primer from Badger called STYNYLREZ. It's an acrylic polyurethane primer and I was pretty impressed with the results. Just apply in thin coats and it goes on smooth as a baby's butt: Finished door panels. I used RLM 79 with some shadowing here and there and chromed the details and trim with Molotow Chrome: Got the console about 95% of the way done. Still need to install the shifter but I've got to do some clean up work on it first.

Looks real! I'll have to try some of the primer, I like how is lays down. Paul

Looks real! I'll have to try some of the primer, I like how is lays down. Paul Thanks Paul! Well I've officially completed the interior tub today. All that's left is installing the door lock knobs into the holes that I drilled in the top of each door which will happen after I've got everything installed neatly and securely up into the body as to avoid damage to the knobs during the interior install. Revell really did everything right on this kit. If you look up under the dash on the passengers side you'll see the HVAC case. AM items include the seat belts and buckles, PE foot pedals, PE steering wheel spokes, PE keys and key chains and of course the carpet/ flocking. All chrome was applied with a Molotow Chrome pen except for the chrome endcap on the rear of the console. I'm pretty pleased with this. Close ups of the IP:
