I distinctly remember building this same kit once when I was about 11. We had just moved from San Antonio to Harrisburg and I was staying at my Grandmothers house till we could move in to our new home. Not sure how I dealt with some of the issues I had with this kit such as the headlights just mount wherever, sort of. No defining position. I wish they had notched the body and put a tab on the headlights to fit in to the notch. I probably had the one built in 1968 done in a day or so. This took about 3 weeks, which is relatively fast for me.
I painted it with Duplicolor flip-flop (Mystichrome, as Ford calls it) This particular paint changes from burgundy, to purple, to blue, to green. Once in a while, I'll see copper in it. I tried tinting the windows twice, and gave up. I couldn't get it to lay right. I was thinking about cutting out the door glass, but changed my mind after the hassles with the tint. It came with 3 hoods; stock, clear, and orange tint. I couldn't get the clear to sit right at all.
It's an interweb thing.....
