Hi all.
My 1988 Regal. With a few mods too.

The horizontal door crease,I used as a cutting guide. Just enough so that I could pull out the lower body. Then puttied over.

Also had to cut for jack/exhaust clearances. Just something a little different.

Removed a yellow stripe, now only three on the car. And no yellow on spoiler and wheels.
Paint I spent some time researching and chose this Vauxhall Lifestyle Blue. A custom rattlecan. It has that purple tint that I was really wanting to see.

And here is how it looks next to the #6 using the Porsche Oxford Blue. That's the actual colour, for some reason it looks as it should next to that darker blue. Unlike some of the above images.

Really satisfied with this build. Unusually straightforward (for me). And fettling and gluing down the hood, I finally got some tight panel lines too.

Thanks to all.
And great to finally build a Sunoco car.

Also,this kit sits great without any mods and good sharp hood edges to work with too.
