these 2 are from the early 90's, i've been building these 2 kits for sometime, and i've just started the decals tonight and i'm on the v erge of going postal, stupid decals, the 57, one fell to bits, lucky for me i've got another set, anyway welcome to comment away, the other set of these will be turned into pro street, not sure in what, may use them as a donor car..entertaining the thought of a 70 challenger or something similiar

fully decaled, and now sitting to wait for the decals to dry, once those are done, 2 coats of clear, then finish the body, windows and spoiler parts, the window frames wont be painted, because i dont have the confidence that my hands will be steady enough, without ruining the glass, so i'll leave that for now..i may revisit that another time, when i'm home..in tassie, i have a friend there i can enlist if need be...

anyways my cars are for my own enjoyment and not out to win any awards lol
