Here is another stalled project of mine. Thought I had posted on it before, but guess not. Started it years ago, ended up sanding thru the clear to the decals. 3 repaints later, and it is Copenhagen Blue. Wired the engine, added a hard line from the fuel pump to the carb, coil wire, and battery cables. Since the shaker tray covers the distributor, didn't run the wires correctly. Also discovered that it will cover the fuel line and advance line! Had messed up the rear end when assembling years ago, never got around to fixing it. Recently picked up a reissue, and back on its way. Inside of body is painted, new rear is painted and installed, glass and taillights are in. Original grill and light assemble was looking kinda rough, and the lights fogged on me, so I just replaced them. Ditched the battery cables and coil wire as well. Just a bit more and it'll be done! Thanks for looking.

Thanks Ed! A small update - got the windshield and rear window trim foiled, grill work and headlights are in. Added some plastic to the back of the interior bucket to raise the body a bit. Also painted up the factory wheels to see how they would look, now I'm not sure which wheels to use. May also add the other set of white stripes so that these are not so dark. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the kind words yall! Well, it's ready to call done. Added Goodyear transfers to the tires, another layer of decals to the stripes, and the rear shocks. Realized that I need to paint and add the mirrors, and do some work to the exhaust tips, they just sit too far below the rear valence to look correct. Also may try and paint the marker lights. Thanks as always for looking.
