For the most part, this is a box stock build. \u00a0I chose Testors metallic red for the paint. \u00a0I sprayed it over a grey primer and it turned into a slightly pink color.<\/p>\n

Some time in 2012, I decided that I wanted to completely rework this kit. \u00a0I never liked the way the color turned out. \u00a0I tore the kit apart and set it aside to start the rework. \u00a0The work on this project started with the engine. \u00a0I was in the process of painting several other engines and pulled this one into the mix. \u00a0Everything was completed except for reworking the headers.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2014 and I realized that I really didn’t want to grind away what was a nice paint job, color aside. \u00a0I took the time to black wash the engine\/transmission and then started reassembling the kit. \u00a0The only other work on the kit was backing the tail light lenses with BMF and replacing the silver highlights on the tails with BMF.<\/p>\n

For the most part, it doesn’t look any different than it did before but the under hood detail is much more satisfying.<\/p>\n

Completed: October 2002<\/p>\n
