Okay Bobby,
Since you seem to be up on the NASCAR kit stuff. Here's a question for you. Did they ever make a #33 Harry Gant Skoal Lumina?? Been looking and haven't had any success...

BTW cool choice for the build!

I got a lil work done to the T-Bird. With no ref pics available I just painted the engine what I wanted too.

Engine is complete just need to add a lil header detail and air cleaner

Rear suspension

Chassis with seat and steering wheel added. Can you spot the lil details I added?

Here is an outside shot with chassis mock up

Starting applying decals

Before anyone says anything I know the top decal should be straight but it does fit that way. I do believe the decals were made for the Monogram kit as it is different. I had to do what I had to do.
