Hi, i dont see this car built often. I plan on using the kit decals and doing it out of box. with only a few extra detail in the interior.

got the tires done, the sticker is from an older AMT decal sheet. and slixx goodyears

got the chassis painted grey. roll bar padding etc. I cleared over everything and will go back and repaint the roll bar padding again when I'm finished so its flat. this way the black paint wont rub off while I'm handling it and stuff.
I also just noticed I forgot to paint one of the roll bar padding! lol

detail painted the engine and transmission
