    So back at the bench with this monster. I'm almost completely done with the chassis. All the suspension is in place, interior bits and seat, Petty bar, (top roll cage is just resting in place to keep it centered while the Petty bar cures), front and rear bumpers, rear wheel wells, and forward...

    I started the front end suspension and alignment on this kit and it's a bit of a monster. Right side had a lot of negative camber, which I had to adjust by trimming up the lower A arm. After much fiddling around, I got the alignment and camber as neutral as possible so it sits at a good ride...

    Oh and the airbrush will be back in business tomorrow if I get some time. Made sure I had an extra handy with these little nozzles.

    @BarleyBop Great job with the gauge decal solution and very nice texture on the dash and seats. A very interesting way to go about it.

    Just a quick update on the build. The center chassis area has been painted, a little touch up needed here and there, as there are a lot of test fitting and lining up to do so that the headers and exhaust ports line up on the body. I can tell you that these headers are probably one of the worst...

    I hear you on the pin marks and flash. I was really surprised to the degree the Salvino JR kits have pin marks on top surfaces and some strange sink marks in other areas. Almost seems like there isn't enough plastic pushed into the molds, or a lot of shrinkage after they are knocked out of the...

    I totally get it. Even my current NASCAR build the decals from Powerslide are a different color than what the car is molded in. I guess I learned over the years of mishaps to get all my references photos (right time frame and/or actual subject) together before I start painting and decaling...
