Made new taillights from the Deora lens, Aero covers over the directionals in the front from Moebius Pro Star semi and a lot of minor body mods. Made up the wrist steering set up. Modified the suspension to lower it 1/8 inch. This is the third paint job in the same Pearl Coral. First I add scallops and didn't like them, second was panel paint, didn't like that either, so the is the straight Pearl Coral with clear tinted with candy red/gold.
Noticed something about this kit after building a ton of them over the past half century (!) The car has the 430 MEL engine with a 3 speed manual column shift. Must have been copied from the early NASCAR Birds.

I love a bubbletop!! The color is really cool. I wish more people were still making bubbletops - scale OR 1:1
