Thanks guys. It's great to have my mojo back up and running.
I raised the rear a tad but now I'm thinking I should take it back down again!!

The look of the Pro-Street bonnet scoop wasn't working for me, so I've decided to attempt to carve my own from two pieces of 2.05mm thick styrene which gives a scale height of 102.5mm which to my eye looks about right to the scoop on my inspiration model.

Fair way to go on my test piece for the scoop but I'm learning.

Didn't much like the old Caddys, but the proportions on this model look OKAY! Thanx for picking up this kit and sharing fotos.

Flatterer........... what are you after???
Now I just need to start all over again on the longer version. May make the top slightly rounded from front to rear as per my inspiration model too.
The whole point of the first (short) one was to assess wether or not I could make an acceptable recess at the front. The rest is just patient sanding.

Quite a lot of effort going into this Al. I'm too lazy to be opening wheel arches and such. Primer and whatnot costs money and I'm a tight git. I know the result will be excellent though.

It's much easier to dremel out arches than do that painting /weathering detail you do Dave boy.

The wheel arches look good against the tires the way it is. Raising it may display too much air space above the tire.
It's your concept, Al. It's looking good so far.

Been really struggling with the paint on this one. Been stripped twice and I'm still far from happy with it but I'm going to live with it.
Ignore the front wheels position, they are just mocked up.
Apologies for the crappy photos too.

Slow down turbo. I can't keep up with you. I'm still scraping plastic.
Nice paint though.

Paint looks great, Al. It has a nice 'nasty' stance.
