that dash looks damn fine. did you use decals to get the radio dial? and yes, a light rub with sandpaper on the tire tread area will make it look slightly used (leave the wall as is).

Oooooohhhhhh.  You're bringing back memories of my '66.  Color was a light metallic blue.  Can't remember the exact name of it.  Was a great ride for 4 years.  Beautiful build.
