This model was a great testbed for several new ideas that I had been wanting to try out, plus it allowed me to work on some techniques that I don't get to practice too often (like two-toned paint jobs). With all of the modifications I made, the hood was actually the only problem area. It wasn't even the vents: those went in perfectly on the first try. No, all of the problems came from the usually simple process of trying to get a decent coat of paint on it. I ended up stripping and repainting it about eight times in the end. Still, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out - it might not be the most beautiful car on the planet, but I've always liked the oddball design of the Sierra/XR4Ti.
