Fitting and constructing the doors.
The movable parts are installed. The door hinges in the kit were not working so new hinges were fabricated from brass. Now everything works as it should.
Installation of the roof wing and nose panel. All of these parts are soldered for the best integrity.

At this point I apply one coat of primers and work on refining the door gaps and and any surface imperfections.

Stripes are now painted on. Some refinements to the edges, etc and then decal and clear will be done.
Prep of the engine block prior to paint and detailing.

Sorry for the long delay...My Mother passed away recently and this particular project was giving me some real headaches...but I think the worst is over. One of the crudest kits I have come across recently.
So...we move forward with the basic exhaust system being sorted out, the interior components fitted and new aluminum floors...and of course the motor. The body has received a clear scratch coat prior to the custom decals which will be done next.

Also, I'm sorry...
Very good job Peter !!!.
I think the same as Joe ... As more raw,more challenge and more fun!
I've suffered the crudities of the OMF 250 GTO64 model ,but the final result,worth it.
Also extremely raw, are the Western Models kits
but can get with them decent things, and they are white metal made.

Ride height is set and the display base is completed. Clear will be applied after the final decals go on the car. In the meantime the engine bay, exhaust system and interior are in the final stages of fitting.

Finally done...after many months of scratch built corrections and a "kit from hell" to start with. Given the tight budget this is the result.
