Incredible build Cruz! Really impressed by the blacked out and chrome details on the rear trim view and everything you did under the hood. Really inspirational job!

Thank you, had to do a lot of sanding to get it to fit just right and then added plastic here and there 'til I was satisfied with the fit.....

That's the kind of model that seriously has me considering going back to drawing and watercolors.

You really got it to fit together right, something that eludes me in car models.

Ford had a lime gold that looked similar.  Nice job!

Thanks,

Wow, excellent work. How did you create the vinyl top? I'd love to learn how to do that.

Hi there my fellow glue sniffers, hope all is well. Just finished this ugly thing and wanted to share it with you all. Kit builds well until you mate the chassis to the body so make sure you glue everything well and strong, you will regret it if you don't. Other than that, it truly is a fun kit to build and simulates the real one well. Pictures still don't show the true color but it's close enough. Color is MCW Finishes Frost Green Metallic and I used MCW Finishes Medium Green Poly for the interior, both  factory colors. The interior was treated with a few aftermarket goodies including embossing powder rugs and a Hurst shifter from Detail Master. I also added seat belts with photo etch hardware. The engine was wired and plumbed and treated with a few other minor details. The Holley carburetor is from Fireball Modelworks. After the addition of the molding from Evergreen that separates the roof from the body,  used MCW Finishes texture paint to simulate the vinyl top. I couldn't acquire the factory color for the roof from MCW or anyone else for that matter so I decided to match the real color by using Tamiya Nato Green on top of the black textured paint. I think it's the best match for this. Wheels and Tires are from one of the AMT wheel and tire packs. Hope you guys like this thing......
