I let the body dry for the better part of two weeks in direct sunlight. The window frames have been foiled and the headlight buckets painted black. The headlights have been installed and the decal I made for the gas door has been applied. It looks like "that tire" had a light snack on one of the clear headlight covers too so I repaired the damage using the same process as I used on the windshield.

The headlight covers fit OK, again especially considering the age of the kit.

The taillight lenses have been installed and I made a bright silver panel for the interior so you can't see the engine when looking through them.

I'm sure some people called it that. It's not a color that looks good on a lot of cars.

The windows have been installed. I decided to sand out the center support strap on the inside of the rear window.

Thanks Jim!

I cut vinyl for the flat black accents on the hood, quarter windows and side scoops.

I machined an aluminum latch handle and made a license plate and decal for it.

The wipers, mirrors and door handles are installed. (The door handles came in the kit.)

The Fiberfab badges that go behind the door windows still need to be painted and attached. There is supposed to be one for the hood, but it's a short shot in my kit and I like the cleaner look without it.
