Thanks Donato. I got the decals on the dash and got the fit better on the chassis to body. I also installed the window net so I'm ready to future tomorrow and that will be it. Finally done, hopefully.

Its finally finished. I just need to let the future dry a couple of days so I can take the final photos. Turned out pretty good but there's always a couple of things I would like to do over, but it was time to close this one down. Over a year and a half is too much time to spend on one build. No more heavy detail builds for me.

Congratulations Mark! Looking forward to seeing the car.

Thanks, Steve. Need to clean up my work area so I have a place to take the final pictures. That might take a while. It's quite a mess.

Sounds good. I empathize with the tedious work of detailing. But you do it so well. It's time to take a breather and sit back and admire your work and efforts. And don't think for a moment that we do not know and appreciate the work you've put into the build. Got my chair in the showroom, and will be applauding loudly at the presentation.

MarkJ

Thanks, Donato. Always appreciate the kind words.

This build has been really great to watch and I can't wait to see the finished product. I can honestly say I've taken a little inspiration from your approach as far as fabricating parts and you're the kind of builder that can really show us how it's done.

MarkJ

Thank you so much Razor. I appreciate your thoughts on the build.
I thought I was ready to proceed but the air cleaner just looked too bad so I'm redoing it one last time. That Revell chrome did not work out as advertised except for the wheels. Putting any kind of clear on it ruins it and the air cleaner will be something I need to handle and even with gloves the Revell chrome dulls badly. Only put it on something you never have to handle again.
