That looks cool!!! I'd put the decals from aftermarket companies (like mooneyes, eldbrock, etc) on the rear side windows.
Cheers,
DJ

Don, Great Looking Chevy! If I had built the car, I would put a couple of nostalgia decals on the front quarters. You have to decide if was a 1:1 car what would you do?   |

one thing i have noticed about all the model king awb cars, is the wheel placement in the wheel wells. the rear wheels always come out too far back and so do the fronts. the other thing is the width of the front axles. they are all too narrow (look at one from the front).
i know that is the way the kit was cast, and no fault of daves.
but, when / if i build one of my model king rat packers...i will widen the front axle, move it and the rear axle so the wheels are centered in the wheel wells.
that just bugs me about all of those kits...and so far, out of the ones i've seen, no one has corrected the problem. of corse, this is just my opinion.....
you did a great job on yours don...i like it in red.
