Progress has been slow to say the least, but, ,........the body is finally finished !!
As the kit (1966) was not totally complete, I did have to replace/make a few bits (apologies to the purists
), but , as a kid, I invariably modified most of my slots cars, so I don't feel too bad. 
The chassis is a day or two away from being complete , and , I will add a pic. to the post when done.
Cheers,....and Happy New Year !!

The livery is a "fantasy" but looks somewhat appropriate for a 1965/66 USRRC/CanAm car........it is Tamiya "Champagne" gold
The gauges actually ended up looking quite good, but, you would not know it from this shot.
I am thinking of adding a small aluminum rear lip spoiler (already made), but, still deciding.
The wheels are Lola T70 aftermarket wheels Russkit, (also 1966/67 and are 1 piece cast aluminum.........very cool, and gorgeous
.
And the unfinished chassis......a bit of bracing, a front axle tube for strength, and a much modified AMT 36D motor. I will update this shot when done.
For some reason , I can edit this post today, where I could not yesterday..........so the attached pic. is the finished chassis.
I will delete my separate chassis build thread.
