Hello;

 Did you notice the built in crush - zone in that car ? See , they had it back then too . Now if it was Tahitian Turquise I would have to have you park it in my garage with the keys and title in it ! Darned fine job .  T.B.

Gorgeous color midnight blue ? What paint did you use? A black primer then a metalic  sapphire  Blue ?

Wow, great job on it. The engine and interior are striking! Yes

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Thanks. I wish I could remember what I did. I would think that would get close, but don't think that's what I did. Old timers setting in I guess. Sorry.

Great job on the details (door locks!) and the paint. One question, did you have any issues with the rear axle centering in the wheel opening? My dad had that issue when he built his; seems to be a problem with that kit.

Thanks guys. I think it sits a hair to the rear, but not enough for me to worry about.
