You would be the only one to have an '85 looking like that
The Fins deserve a lot of kudos for taking on the big Bear & giving him a well bloody nose.

Do it Ed...not that bad at all...if you check the link in the original post there are several other angles...def one I haven't seen anyone else do
The only thing I can't figure out is what the heck is that lump next to the driver's hatch

ALPHA

I think its the headlight folded down

Think you are right ED....in the other photo them Fins removed the light from the side

Cool ED...you going to cut the Fenders?

ALPHA

Not sure yet probably

Been there ED...so know where you are coming from...think one of the hardest decisions in any mod is whether or not to make that first cut...this one isn't that bad though...so don't worry too much...cutting along the hinge line is pretty easy...and if you should decide to redo it again...you can always re attach the fender...with a hinge or just gluing it back in place...it's a win win situation on this model....just don't loose the ends of the fenders

Good Luck ED

ALPHA

Right here's how far I've got so far...

I like the pattern ED...how many coats does she have on?....remember if you are using a brush...to take your time...and thin to medium mix will give you the best results

Looking good so far

ALPHA

Green has 3 the others have 1 in the picture but have had another coat since the pic was taken I bought vallelleo paint brushes on very nice.
