This is the Revell special edition Dodge Dart 2 in 1 kit. Well, i'm going for the 3 option TUFF STREET.  With these Wheels . Aoshima BBS LM's.  So in order to fit these under the fenders, i mini tubbed it, and also had to make some flares for the fenders.    |

Now, onto the interior, i did something very different, i put thread on all the stitching, some suede inserts and a little BMF.   |

That looks great Dale. How did you manage to add the thread without it getting stiff due to the glue?
I laid down a thin line of Canopy glue with a tooth pick, then put the thread on it, the canopy glue dries clear. Just don't roll the thread while doing it, or it will end up glue side up, and go all horrible.
And THANKS  |

Killer engine work. The thing looks real sitting there. Nice detail work like the alternator and coil and all.
