Looking real sharp so far.  Will be interesting to see this built up. 

Also, took me a while to figure out the "funky" orange background in your photos.  It's hardwood table, right?  Does your camera have a white balance adjustment?  If so, it's relatively easy to adjust to remove the orange cast.

Not really happy with the plain black wires, will probably do blue.

The factory motor came with an fiberglass fan shroud so I will leave it raw.

I'm going to make a diorama with the trans axle out of the car, trans off and the front clip removed as if the car was being worked on. Way to much detail to hide. I might even do, wait for it, a cut away...

I've been eyeballing this model since August when I got back into modeling. Glad I did a couple before starting with this one.

It is an original 70's issued model, so no photo etched parts.
