While working through some other tedious builds I decided to pull out an old Polar Lights kit from the stash and fill in some time with something fairly simple. I have tweaked/scratched a few things here and there and changed out the kit tires but mostly I had to heat and bend that nose down level along with the hood. It's just a fatal flaw in these Polar Lights kits and unless you get the nose down it doesn't look right. And yes, Slim was right, I had to fab my own exhaust headers (and just went ahead and did all of the exhaust) as the kit set just will not fit. Still, it's a nice easy mind soothing build that is mostly box-stock. I've got it sitting like I wanted now and I can move on to the minor bodywork and paint, and then on to the final detailing paint work.
