for those with questions on what its like i hope to answer most of those in this thread. 8)
i sanded the lower grill and pop rivits on the air dam. i removed all the mold lines then painted it with tamiya camel yellow. as you can guess iam doing the 17.(now randym should do a kahne car:twisted:) i redid the dash will post pics later. the driver decals were really nice to work with which gives me great hope on the body decals. i made the carhartt logo for the trucnk with my testors decal set.(sorry wont sell them casue iam out of ink :oops:)
I know i asked about the color to the engine in another post but once john b told me its the same engine for yates and roush i was set. in a book i have it shows a yates 2005 engine so i went off of that minus the blue block. i used alcald for the engine block and headers. i did my headers off the way davet and clay do theres. alcld pale gold with jet exust and clear black for highlights.the new kit headers are really nice i wish they came like that from now on in the chevy and doge kits.
my first impression of the kit is a really good one. while most hate the modern kits this one and the 03 mc show something. with every new tool they improve the kit. thats a good train of process there. they are going up not down with these kits.it was worth the wait in my opinion. the headers are my favorite part of the new kits.i hope to have it donw by sunday or early next week.will post chassis pics tomarrow.
