Well, its finally completed. I had done yesterday, sort of. I started taking pictures and then I realized about various small finishing details I left off. Like the door handles, the hood ornament, and the windshield wiper. Then I notices a few photo etched items from the superkit to be added and the roof antenna. And under the rear spoiler I had to make some new "brackets" as the plastic ones that were molded under it didn't look right, and I accidently broke one so I removed them completely. I just did that last detail this morning. I made them from a piece of fine solder wire. They had to be somewhat flat (they should have been PE parts) so I used a littlle roller I had to flatten out the wire somewhat. The big "D2" decal on the left side didn't come out too good. They were tricky to get on right because they are fragile. Well here it is in my Photobucket album. Thanks for looking.

Looks good.

A light wash on the wheels with Tamiya smoke, and painting the center nuts black will really enhance them

I can do that, add a little wash to the wheels. I guess that was one other little detail I missed when I thought it was "done". Unfortunately I won't be able to make Birmingham. I have to work that day. We have rotating overtime on Sat. here and that happens to be mine. But I will try to make Anniston. I've never been to that one before. Thanks for the comments guys.
