Sorry that I have no pics-- as I have said before, I have a friend with a digital camera, but he is not available that often, and he only takes pics of my completed builds.
The chassis is well under way, although there is still work to be done on the front suspension (and if you don't like plated front springs, you're gonna hate this model! But I think they look great!)
Body is almost done with polishing-- needed very little, the Testors lacquer went on well. Then on to decaling. This is a shelf model, so I just need to get the headers attached to the motor and that is finished.
I'm happy to say that it's looking good-- as long as the "fictional" decals go on well, I'll be very happy with the final product.

I sure am enjoying the hell out of building it. The body is a fairly dark metallic blue, and it is period-correct for a '68-era gasser. It's also one of my favorite kits of all time! (Yes, I have another one waiting, which will probably end up as more of a rusty backyard gasser.)

Thanks to all for the encouragement. Today I am going to finish up polishing the body, and get started with the decals. You guys keep me motivated, and I thank all of you for that!
