Mike!

That is a super start to a real sharp build!

I like your subject, I like the body style. I have several of those Montes and GNX in my stash.

Before you "give up" on the black paint on any other cars, try this trick, I got it from some forum, flat black a couple of coats, then clear coat it. I have done it and it looks real sharp.

Any chance that you have a W.I.P. of the cowl hood building? I am going to use a resin on hood on one of the Montes, but, I would like to try building a larger one myself.

Thank You for sharing with Us here

looking forward to more

ALright so this weekend I had my try at a little more scratch building.

Made some long tube headers, an deep oil pan, and a dipstick

this is the fitment under the car. Now I know why people sometimes lift the motor to get headers in. It was a challenge to get them to fit perfect. I'm happy with the outcome!

Still just dry fitting everything, next I will make cap and wires, msd box, electric water pump, belt and finish the front engine plate I'm building!

Thanks Russ I'm having a lot of fun with this one. I actually painted this model with semi black then clear. It still turned out with a lot of orange peel.

I don't have a WIP for the cowl hood however this is the tutorial I used to make it

Cheers, Mike
