Because of its association with the TV show and, indeed, because, I believe, of the phaeton roof (although absolutely on the money if you're going to do a TV car), the late Dean Jeffries' work on this car is often underrated. Adding back the hardtop reveals the brilliance of the basic customzing and "liberates" it. Can't wait to see more, more, more...!

Pretty cool idea. I thought the long "top up" look wasn't great, but I believe the show wanted the guys to be seen, so that explains the weird look to me. The rest looks fine, especially in dk. blue. I wonder if it'll have decals or pin stripes...hmmm!

After the Testor's clear cured I was able to polish it out smooth. I finished that this morning.

This is looking great! You did an excellent job with all of the body mods. It looks so good that it makes me wanting to start mine. To me it looks like a perfect Show Car. I won the same kit from a Model Car Show years ago and it has been sitting on my stash ever since. Now I might pull it up....
