I have almost completed valiant dog's valiant, only lack doing something with tail lights, touch ups and paint trim on dash and final assembly- he has a slant 6 engine i will assemble next .

I was weary of painting the black in the keystone wheels but i think it turned out nice. I will say this is the first time i have worked with a resin kit, They make a great way to get that obscure car that model companys do not make, but they lack detail.

for example, there is no gas cap, the rear was made wrong and the glass does not fit, but it does make a nice example of a 66 valiant.

This car was missing a steering wheel and shifter, and tail lights , those where donated from my spare mr norms gss dart , i still do not know what to come up with for tail lights,

Hey Shafer, I'm just back from the hospital, sorry for the delay. The car is looking really good.

The color turned out great, green-ish in the light and gold-ish in the shadows, just like my car.

The Keystone rims also turned out great, and the car looks good with them here , but if we can find some rally wheels that would fit better, I'd appreciate you mounting them, time permitting of course I'm in no hurry, like we talked about.

The back here looks good, thanks.
