Hi all! Started this a few days ago and got so involved in the build forgot to take some pics.Decide on a custom version and Dropped the front and rear suspension.Painted the interior a medium and light gray.Gave the medium gray a gloss coat and the light gray a matt finish.Funds are tight this month so i had to go with what paint i have.I used the graphite dust metallic and cleared it Testors wet look clear.The body is just on temporary for the pics.Still need to do some detail painting.The carbs need paint and go on after the body is on.
The shifter is a little statue ,that was a surprise.

Nice job on the interior and body paint. The engine looks cool too with the blower and carbs!

Did you have a lizzard in the kit too? I have one that i dontknow what kit its from
