Excellent work. I have one of these on the bench as a stalled project that I hope to get back to this year. It is a surprisingly good kit, with the exception of the bonnet fit, which on mine was terrible. I got so tired of trying to make it fit, that I eventually glued it shut, and will display the engine alongside on a stand. The overall effect of your build, and the way the paint shows of the sexy lines, is what I am shooting for. If it turns out half as good as yours, I'll be happy. Thanks! The hood fit wasn't great but luckily my fitment didn't look too bad. I definitely spent more time on this model prepping the surface to remove as much as waviness as possible.

styromaniac Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I came across this build while looking for builds of this very same kit I found on eBay for a reasonable price. If I didnt see your gloved hand in the pics I'd swear I was looking at photos of the real thing in Hemmings or some other classy car magazine!
