1996 'Cartoon Network Scooby Doo' Chevy Monte Carlo

[gami8630]

I pulled this 1996 Chevrolet Monte Carlo out of the storage box and finished it up after stopping the build almost 20 years ago.
The car is a bold “Cartoon Network Scooby-Doo” paint scheme and the driver is Robert Pressley.

When I took it out of the storage box, the body was dirty with dust, but after a coat of wax to remove the dust, a polish with compound, and another spray of clear, it cleaned up amazingly well.
At the time I interrupted the build, the window parts had not yet been installed, but I was able to find the parts in the storage box and the body was now safely completed.

The chassis covered by the unfinished body was not so dirty, but the Goodyear logo on the tires was faded.

Several versions of the Monte Carlo kit were released between 1985 and 2007 as the body style of the actual car changed, and this completed kit is the second generation.

The body color is Tamiya color spray TS-24 Purple and the decals are SLIXX #1195/9629.

You did a good job on this build.

Nicely done.  Pressley was a good journeyman driver in the old Busch series.

I stopped building this kit about 20 years ago, but I managed to finish it.
