Thanks everyone!

Bradley, if this was a real car I'd race it :D I'll take pictures of it with my old S/S Fairlane-that is, if the stupid paint would come out right on it! :)

Got this one done today.

Extremely disappointed with the way it turned out...

I left the rear quarter windows out because I was tired of screwing with them.

Back to the story:

I got her out of the garage today. Had a little bit of trouble getting the motor to fire, but it was just because the timing was off. It runs great! I plan on heading out to the dragstrip this Saturday to see how she does.

Don't see what you are disappointed about Andy, the Dart looks great to me, wish I could have built cars like that when I was your age (of course that was only a year or so ago, wink,wink,nudge,nudge)

Thanks Richard, but I was so mad I didn't take pictures of what made me disappointed :P

On the rear quarter panel I got some tacky glue on it. No big deal, right? WRONG. When I tried to get it off, the paint came off :P and the paint is under 5 coats of clear! Oh well. I'm not letting it go on the shelf like that so I have to figure something out.
