Yes going to use stock 1980 ltd lay out . All will be repainted . I should have taken better care of the plastic over the years of the build , i'v scratched and dinged it to much for my liking.

That's a mod I can get my arms around. Something like this takes time, talent, patience and money. :woohoo:
No hack job here. :whistle:

I think it takes a bad case of OCD to go this far over the top! I love it! A man should never put his passion on hold because of the cost of something. The price tag is what discourages most to forget those pipe dreams. I like your thinking.
