With my other kits nearing completion, at the time, it was time to crack open a few new kits.<\/p>\n

Many years ago, I bought two of these NATCC Accords.\u00a0 I really don’t remember what I was trying to accomplish but I gave one of them away and kept this one.\u00a0 I never had any intention of building it as a race car.\u00a0 I had always thought of building it as a really over the top street car.\u00a0 After I built the Datsun 510 as more or less a “rat rod” I decided that building this is a rat would make it worth finishing.<\/p>\n

I’m very pleased with the finished product.\u00a0 I painted the interior to match the color callouts in the instructions.\u00a0 Cage and all.\u00a0 In order to break up all of the satin black on the body, I used a higher sheen satin to paint the window trim.\u00a0 Bare metal foil was used to back the lenses as well as the straps on the halon tank for the fire system.<\/p>\n

Overall, this ended up being a fun and fast build.<\/p>\n

Completed: November 2012<\/p>\n
