Finished up this little drag car. Nice kit, but some fit issues with the hood and interior tub that I tried to make fit a little better.  The frame had a warp that I didn't notice until it was too late to fix. I decided to go with no trim, and no front bumper. I built a rear push bumper. It was the Coke kit, but I used some decals I found in my parts stuff.  All in all came out ok.

Turned out great James. Did the Coke issue of this kit come with the green tinted glass or did you tint it yourself? I have the 'Original Art' issue and it only has plain clear.

Thank you Garry. The kit came with the green tinted glass.

Turned out nice.

Yea, sometimes these old kits can give you fit issues. Been there, but now I now do a ton of mock ups even before painting and even then will have issues, albeit smaller ones.

Man I hate warped frame surprises but you seem to have dealt with it very effectively.  I too love that body style.  Very nice looking hot rod.
