Yes, I think Bruce is better off not being mentioned......
I think I will go with either orange or red with chrome mags, or baby blue on white walls.
Anyways, feels good be be back to where I was two weeks ago.

I like how you managed to keep the flowy-ness of the original lines but still make it look more aggressive. For color, I think a deep blue or burgundy with full wheel covers and wide whitewalls.

Keep it up mate, I've had a few things go missing because of my dog too  I agree with Eric, blue on some wide whites would look awesome. Should be a stunner when you finish it! The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on. - Robert Bloch

I like how you replaced the model to where you left off, it was if it was never eaten. I cant really help you on color choice, it would look good in so many colors.

I was just checking in to see if there may have been a new episode of "As the Bruce Chews" ! Gotta admit , that would be an interestig soap opera!  If life is like a bowl of cherries, why do I always get the pits?

Haha Bowtie, very funny!
Bruce has been a good boy so far, I just must make sure I put everything away when finished.
I don't have many blue models so I think this one will be blue.
-Here's a pic of the grille cut down and fitted, compared to the stock grille. I wrapped some 1mm half round rod along the grille's top edge which flows into the body trim.
-Widened the rear fenders by about 4mm using a plastic strip cut into a wedge shape.
-I channeled the body by simply removing 4mm from the area marked in red. Getting the engine and radiator in will be much harder.
-Mock up. I removed the side window drip rails and replaced them with fibre optic strands. Filled in and sanded flat the side flow line and replaced side trim with 1mm half round rod. Blended the new side trim into the modeled in rear trim. Now the flow goes all the way around.
Still got some smoothing out to do before paint.

Loving how this car sits.... Are you putting the kit's motor in or going with something smaller to compensate?
Thanks

Looking pretty sharp. Either orange or red would look pretty classic.
