Well I've finished this one in a reasonable amount of time for a change.
Got this kit from Clea and decided to finish what he'd started.
The colour is Windsor Blue with satin black bonnet, the decals weren't with the kit so I've used some from the later issue Revell Cuda, hence they don't match the rear quarter hip shape properly.
The wide rear wheels was the only major mod to this build, and that just involved tubbing and moving the leaf springs inboard. Rear tyres are resin copies of the MPC Daytona's.
Seat belts are the only interior mod, made from black dress ribbon and Model Car Garage photo-etch buckles.
The engine is detailed with spark leads, fuel lines, throttle linkages, dip stick, battery leads and heater hoses.

Very nice work.

Contrary to what most will build one here, it's nice to see a build close to showroom stock.
