At home now. My friend was so happy with the way the Roadrunner looked, he said it looked like a show model and put it in a display case.
I had a lot of fun building this one for sure. I apologize for so many pictures but I hope y'all enjoyed them.       Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

You are the expert. And I am in awe. But if I can contribute in some way....
A dremel with the appropriate bit is handy for carving out unavailable parts like front grills, lights etc. |

Very cool. One of the first bodywork and paint project I did with my dad was on a MOPAR 440 car ('70 Charger R/T). I really like the wheels.
In a similar vein, there is this thread on the 911 Technical forum. I am going to bump it for an update. https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/1074033-1-8-scale-porsche-rsr-2-1-turbo-1974-a.html

Thanks for the tip Bill. I used an X-acto knife and carefully trimmed the center section out. I kept test fitting the insert to see how it would fit and then trimmed accordingly being careful to not get into the inner headlights. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
