Well I am happy if I can impress an 8 year old (My grandson is 8 also).

Paint is Testors Dark Blue from the little square bottles.

Wow, nice job. As time goes on I hope to come close to what you experienced modelers are doing.

Always one of my favorite cars. I even had the chance to get a short ride in one some 40 years ago.

Nice job on this. You might want to take some white paint to match the stripes and bring them to the edge of the body work above the intruments and glove box. Also, blend the scoop into the racing stripes with some white as well. .

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

But...but....but......the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.......
Looks great, man.
That 427 S/C is just about the toughest looking car ever made.......one of the most beautiful bodies ever made.
