This is the 1/24 scale original Monogram kit from 1989. It is painted in "scalefinishes" factory Saturn Yellow with decanted UPOL clear coat. I added some details from the Model Car Garage photo etch set in addition to door handles and tire decals from "Fireball Modelworks" Finally, I added plug wires and a PVC hose, and sourced some gauge decals from EBAY. Hope you like it.

Thanks, and I have to add that if anyone builds this kit, I would advise using the "custom" rear suspension for a stock build like I did.  The "stock" rear suspension is way to low.  All wheels sit flat without adjustments

Thanks again, and Kyle, you are right about the front bumper and hood.  One thing about this kit, all the detail is there but to tease it out and get it right was a challenge.  Not bad for such an old kit.  Really nice molded details.  BTW, I rechromed the valve covers and rear bumper with sprayed Molotow ink.  It really is amazing stuff.
