Picked up the AMC Javelin body at my local track/shop today. Will start looking at some paint options and post a pic when I get it done.

A couple pics I took today with the new combo: Xray T4 and Protoform Firebird.






For those interested, I'm running 6mm hexes front and rear. May look into a 7mm hex for the rear soon since the tires are so tucked. Car worked great!

BTW, yes, I know I used the wrong shade of blue for the stripe. It was all I had.

Cain, I'm assuming you're referring to me? If so, I've got the RJ Speed (used to be Bolink?) interior. It's not listed on their site that I can find, but here it is at Tower:
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDADB

Be warned, it's very, very thin in spots and can be a challenge to trim masking tape or mask with an Xacto! I've got it simply mounted to the underside of the body using servo tape. It's the same interior I used in my HPI '69 Camaro, as well. I'll see if I can grab a pic of the underside for you later today...

@Tommy R,
Where'd you get that "Trans Am" decal across the top of the windshield?

It's one of Carl's USVTA stickers from the sheet he sells. I just applied it over a reflective white decal windshield eyebrow.
