A Vintage 1987 Aerocoupe for your viewing pleasure

Yeah, long title....

Well this guy is finally done. I got it completed just in time for the 80's contest over on AF. Hopefully I place well with it. There are several firsts with this car. One of which was the decals. I used the wetworks sheet for this car and I simply loved them. Easy to work with and laid down great! This was the first time I REALLY used PE parts. The hood hinges, seatbelts, and brake rotors. All of which are detail master (are the MCG seatblet and hood hinge kits easier to work with?). This is also the first time I opened a trunk and hinged it as well as the first time I've done lug studs. The details seem endless on this thing. Notice the rear window braces? I would like to thank anyone and everyone who helped me out with this, a big thanks goes out to Dave he provided a lot of help. As did Matt Conte. Matt was able to straighten out my oiling and fuel system for me. Well enjoy the pictures, ask questions and leave comments AND Criticisms, thats the only way we learn!

Since my Camaro is taking so long. I thought that I would show you guys what one of my finished peices looks like. This was done up for a 1980's motorsports contest on one of the model boards. It is as close to accurate for the 1987 all star race where the infamous pass in the grass took place.

I am in the process of building the silver car he ran in the winston in 1995. It is not as detailed as this one, I'll post some completed pics of it as well when I get it finished.
