Very nice start on this one Joel. I do like those AM aluminum drive pulleys and belts.

Off to good start Joel! Never knew Trumpeter made car kits. They do but it's only the Falcon and Ranchero kits. Unfortunately there won't be any more Trumpeter civilian auto models produced.  |

Thanks everyone. Trumpeter makes a few kits actually. Nothing new though. 63 Novas HT and convertible. A couple of Falcons and a 79 Monte Carlo I believe. Oh a Bonneville as well. There are a few.
Well here where I left off with the engine.

Thanks fellas. I used Tamiya paint as I’ve found it’s not as thick as others. I did have to correct a few sections of overspray. I’m happy with the outcome though. Last couple of days did some interior work.    |

Looking good, I like the colours !
Agree with vcv's comment, for a standard kit it looks like a pro street model with those tubs !
Interior is clean too.... icon_shoutout_zpsg7nrfmdc
