Finished last year...started and abandoned in 2007 or 08 because I didn't have the skills to fix the problem. Now I do so I pulled it out and finished it.

Yesterdays and Cherry Run decals, Testors French Blue paint (discontinued), Polar Lights kit. Not my best work but for recovery of an abandoned project it's acceptable. I could do a lot better job now, such as the orange peel and when I started it I didn't know how to remove mold seams.





The panel that goes below the rear bumper went missing sometime in the last decade and a half.

Scratchbuilt valve stems

This is a nice one. I can tell the quality of your work has improved since you painted this one but it still looks great.

What's your secret now so you don't get the orange peel?

Back then I put on way too much paint, and would try to get it all covered in one pass. I think there's an entire can on this car!
