Great work on both cars. Looks like I'm gonna have to go out and buy a model 4th Gen now. Want to make me a Sunoco hood since I know my attempt won't turn out half as good as yours, lol.

Thanks for the compliments!
Had a bit of a delay with the holidays & such but finally have a chance to show some progress. Painted the body the same as my car but now I'm having second thoughts about it & the full size car too lol. I think I will use this chance to try out a differant paint scheme & see how I like it before I go full size. I am still not sure yet though, I liked my satin black for a little while but its getting a little old already to me.... we will see.

Thanks guys!
I did the whistler on the headlights but had a small issue, as I stated in the begining this was a rebuld so as I was trying to clean 9 year old super glue off the inside of one of the lenses I broke it. First one came out almost perfect, blew the second one. Did the best I could to repair it & it looks ok I guess. The break is in almost the perfect spot to be hidden by doing the whistler anyway. I have some new pics with emblems, fuel door & lights but they all suck! For some reason my camera isn't working to well so I'm not going to post pics yet.
As far as the hood goes, I did make my own using the SS hood that comes with the kit. I just built the sunoco cowl on top & blended it all together.
The cage was built from aluminum tubing I got at the hobby store, its like $1.50 for 36" I think, its pretty cheap & goes a long way. Be carful not to kink it when you make your bends.

I need that hood and gauge overlay for my model! That whole thing looks great. Are you going to do the green inserts on your 1:1 scale car like you did on the model?
