Didn't think that you get so far with the kit. The exhaust systems looks good so far.

It's worked! The centre console lid looks perfect, just the right amount of shine

Black paint is done. The T-Top also but they'll get another (2nd) layer of clear cote after a wet sanding.

Nice work here! Now I know I'm not alone in this automotive nightmare of modifying cars! LOL!

Thank you Mates!
Yes, my brother made an awesome job on the roof. I like it.
Those days I picked up the body. I worked on the interior.

@munkyslut, what do you mean "....sure you don't work for TTI?"

TTI are the probably the best US muscle car & performance exhaust manufacturer Dominik

Nice work on the exhaust but I am really impressed with the T-top conversion.

long time after painting i started the completing. Mounted windows, headlights from inside the body.
my horrible part was, to slip in the undercarriage. specially the rear end, not to stretch the body too wide as the glued and painted bumper is cracking. I really had to talk myself into it ... but it doesn't help! must be finished
At the end, it worked out very well. with no damages till yet. hurrah!

I was at my LHS to day (supporting my local economy) and saw this kit on their shelf.

Bill, I like this kit a lot. It goes together very nice!
Some points to take a closer look:
In the manual, the bumpers should be mounted at last, after interior and undercarriage is mounted in. I took another way.
- before painting I mounted front and rear bumper. To fit perfect, I had to sand the edges so that the parts fit neatly.
- on the rear bumper I needed some putty
- the transition from the bumper to the body was not smooth, I had to grind it.
- Before painting I checked the bonnet. She was a little bit wider and deformed.
Of course, as I mounted the bumpers first, to slip in the undercarriage is a little bit tricky on the back. There it is to go first in place, very carefully.

On my body I sanded the engine hood a little narrower to get it fit after the paint is on the body. Without paint there is really little space between the fenders and the hood.
Also I needed putty on the rear bumper to the quarter panels.
