Looks great. Are you going to put the heat shields on the exhaust

Thanks Nowhere. I am debating that. I am kinda getting bogged down with this project, investing waaayyy too much time. I have a little girl on the way. After that, I wont have much time to build for a long while.

It seems this project is getting more in depth then what you originally hoped it would. Just as bad how most people miss judge when they restore a real car. Just where do you stop the madness. Regardless of how much more detailed you make it It's going to be the most detailed correct model ever. My hats off to you. I can't wait to see it togther.

I think you had better start thinking about your
Haggerty Agreed Upon Insurance Policy for this build. Maybe miniaturize the insurance card and put it under the visor!

Hi Nowhere,
I wasn`t sure exactly what you were asking until I saw jroc`s question in the other forum.
The blue body is one of my spare bodies I had lying around that I use for test fitting. Once the body is painted, I ty to avoid touching/handling it as much as possible. It will still be the red one. Sorry for the confusion.

Heading down the home stretch now. Wont be too long now. And finally, after almost 6 months?
I have the wheels cast, but I am not sure they are going to get chromed and be back in time. I may have to go with the kit Rallye wheels, as I wont to get this on the market. It will hurt to see it go though. It displays very nice.
Sorry for the lousy phone pics guys. I will have some nice ones once it is complete.

Really getting close to the end here. But, is there anyone that can help me with the NCRS "Mark of Excellence" plate and the NCRS sticker on the windshield? I need a jpg or bmp of them, but for the life of me, I can`t find either of them. Here you can see them on the real car:
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks again to everyone who responded and sent me PM`s! It was a great help!
So I think I have just about everything I need now. I hope to have this wrapped up (FINALLY) in the next week or two!

Ok, next problem. Does anyone know what is stamped on the top of the radiator? It looks like a small square with two lines of text? Also, trying to find a print out of whatever the silver label beside it is as well.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Really getting close now. Just waiting for my wheels to be chromed, and possibly some bumpers at this point.
Thanks to those of you who are sending me PM`s and helping me with the details!
