Thanks for the comments guys I will look into washing the front grill when I do the mufflers and sand the rear tires.

Wow! For your second build ever it looks great! The only tip I can give is to maybe BMF your vent wing posts. They were chrome (actually stainless steel) like your window trim.

I wish my second build could've looked this good! B)

Looks great to me. Even though the vent windows should have bmf I think they look great yellow. Like they have said only thing the car needs is a wash in the grill.

Thanks for all your comments guys I really appreciate them.

I did start to BMF the vent windows but when I did it looked out of scale, like the vent posts are to big I will search on here to see if I can find some others done and see how they look.

MrObsessive thanks for all the teaching you do with your builds they help a lot.

Great job Bob! You do better work than I do! There's a guy who has a product called 'The Detailer' it's a water based wash that comes in different colors, it's pretty easy to use and looks great. There's also a product called/made by (?) MIG that's an enamel based wash that some people use with great success. Your car looks great. I admire your tenacity in sticking with what at times was a difficult build. Congradulations!

I would never have thought it was only your second build, nice work. I'd say you have a bright future ahead of you in this hobby. I know my second wouldn't have held a candle to yours. Lol

Thanks for all the kind words guys I'm trying, the great thing about this place is there are so many people who are willing to help with advice and by teaching in their builds it really helps us new guys.

Thanks again to all those who gave advice and encouragement through out this build

Bob
