Thanks for your comment, Racecar Dave. I really appreciate it.

Got the body ready for primer. Added a fuel filler, rear spoiler, removed the holes in the hood, and removed the wiper blades. Also added some lips around the wheel openings.

You gonna put the turn signal stem on? Kinda wild that they did that much prep to make it a race car and left that on

The guy who found this car added it to make it street legal. there's a video somewhere showing the guy driving it and he also added a passenger seat.

That is for pit stops, gotta keep it safe.
When I win the Powerball I will switch to the real ones.

Still need to do the windshield and back glass moldings and clear the body. After that I will decide if I need to do any polishing of the clear because sometimes it will go on pretty smooth and not need polishing. Then I can finish the tub and assemble the model and finally decal it and I will hopefully be done and can move on to my next project that I have been spending too much time on instead of working on this build to get it finished.
