Great job on this one. Really like the grille, bumper and headlight treatment.
Thanks. For kits with the molded grill screen I use grill screen decals from a Slixx mini sheet and Solvaset it. |

Another that had been on my list forever to build. The decals were a bit crispy, but with the help of some liquid decal film it got done.

What color primer did you use? I would have used the rust red primer.
Gray. In hind sight the red oxide primer would have been a much better choice. |

I used Testors Competition Orange as I had read it was very close to Poppy Red. Once done I'm pretty sure it came out a bit too orange though..

Since the current chassis is Mopar, I'd like to see:
71 and/or 72 Roadrunner
Magnum. I'd love to do the Marty Robbins car
Also the older, boxy Matador would be fun. |

How did the wheelbase work out with the body? I know those GM A-bodies needed to shift the rear wheel openings back a bit. Looks like maybe you made that adjustment...?
When I first started out I w ... |
