Okey, seeing I'm asking for help with this I'd better put some pics up.
Started this a while ago for a mate of mine, it's a Cavalier resin XY GT Falcon curbside only I decided it needed a motor so I cut the bonnet out and added a resin engine bay. Chassis is from an AMT 67 Muzzy, it will have a clevo from my spares box out of I don't remember.
Paint is Ford Electric Blue acrylic lacquer, with copious amounts of rattle can acrylic clear, sanded with 2000 grit and polished with Novis #2. Wheels are Pegasus Hella's, 19" front and 23's on the rear, wasn't sure about the 23's on the back but that's what he wants. It will have the black stripes on the side but not sure about bonnet black outs yet.
Interior still needs more detailing yet but this is it so far.
You Ford boys control yourself, I haven't turned to the dark side Razz

Thats about all it's good for!!
Great colour and shine there Tubs. I reckon stripes on the bonnet.

Talented you are, Come to the dark side Tubman, the force is stronger over here.
That XY looks nice, especially in that colour.
I have a Jaymar resin XY , one word "SHIT". Probably will never get built.

Yeah, got one of those too, it's just wrong, the roof has a big dome in it and the grill and bumpers are just a PITA, did one many years ago but don't think I'll do the other one.
Thanks for all the comments and the offers to go to the dark side but I like it on my side thanks.

It's nice and wide between the suspension towers. You'll have no problem dropping a Hemi in there...
