Good work! I especially like the overspray on the exhaust manifolds, too! Good luck!

He wanted pictures of how things were supposed to look so he could do it right. Hopefully he can better his second place from last year.

He did paint most of it. I helped him get the engine compartment and the grille. He was having a tough time getting the angles. I thought you might like the wheels on it.

He used sharpies for the detail work like window trim handles and even the grille.  Worked quite well.  He is excited to get there.  Leaving in the morning.

Looking great!  :2thumbs:    I've seen a meme that says " a mans greatest addiction starts with 99 cents " and shows a hotwheels car, I see you've  progressed a little past that!  :grinyes: :clapping:
