Finished this off, there is a thread in the fab shop on it. Sorry I don't have a better photo set-up, it is on the to do list.
I cleaned up the body of mold/fill marks and polished it. A couple coats of future before and after decals.
I used Powerslide decals, PE grills and hood/trunk pins, Tamyia tape for the grill tape, built a fuel cell out of sheet styrene
I am pleased with the ghost look by painting everything that wasn't body or chassis color.

Tim this is simply awesome. I was following your w.i.p. with great interest but unsure of how it would turn out.
First, your work with finessing the body to a smooth and clear appearance is a total success.
Second, I love your decisions on what to color and what to keep clear. If it was me I would have painted the whole chassis...but your way is better.
Third, all the detailing bits are superb.

So, they actually make a clear kit? Excellent job polishing it out and futuring it perfectly. Amazing to look at. |

Thanks for the compliments. I am pleased with how it turned out. Building all clear poses some unique challenges, but I enjoyed it overall. |

This turned out so freaking cool. That was a really good idea to paint everything that wasn't chassis or body colored. You crushed it with the body cleanup. Your wheel detail is incredible. Well done. |
