decided that with the 3 completed #12 Menards builds I have already done, plus the 2 pending ones, I would throw another one in the mix.

here is the look I am going for:







I had to seek some advice on here and from my LHS proprietor, and he ultimately recommended Dupli-Color Hot Rod Primer. To me, it worked out perfectly, it's darker in person than the pics, and quite a bit darker than the average primer. Here is what I have done so far:

decals from Powerslide











interior/chassis progress:

using Powerslide carbon fiber goodies on the seat and the dash, they really laid down well on the seat





decided to try out a Shapeways "more accurate" shifter






chassis/running gear - chassis is Testors flat light aircraft grey





decided to forego the engine and engine compartment detail, glued the hood shut




and here is the splitter, courtesy of Shapeways. painted flat white






more to come later!
