Hey Ed...I hear you on that for sure.

Hey Mark....I've started it and it's on the back straight now. But I could post pics of what I've done to it thus far.

Thanks for the interest guys.

Thanks, Gary and Daytona. I'm thinking mpc made that steering wheel a little too small but I used it anyway. had to cut one of the braces off. the race car had 2 braces instead of 3.

Gary, the guage bezels are just styrene discs punched out with my hole puncher tool.  punched to the same size as the guages that are decals i made from guage images i photo reduced from the internet. I dont use the decals like decals, just punch them out and glue them on top of the discs. I will later clear them with future. Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks , Gary. i finally found out where the fire extinguisher was on this car . They mounted it pretty close to where the passenger front seat would be mounted . Just a little back. Its one of those stand up kind thats usually behind the drivers seat.  I found one from an old mpc mercury kit I can use.
