Thanks. It has the panel lines for semaphore signals on the B pillar.
There are a number of things about the model that bug me, it actually looks more like a "kit" split window than a real one. Door handles for one thing are wrong, so is the hood (from the original kit, no replacement in the transkit) and I replaced the totally wrong push button rear deck handle with something a little more resembling a real latch (from a Willys kit, no less). And the bumpers with the transkit were pretty crude so after finishing them as best I could and then using SpaStick to "chrome" them (not all that real looking, esp compared to the look of Molotow), I ditched them for the kit bumpers as I like the overriders on them.
Still turned out OK, I am not showing the more problematic areas in my photos. A little trick I picked up a long time ago to improve just about anything you take photos of.

Looks good to me! Would love to have one of those in 1:1, with a Porsche mill in it.

Thanx for posting pix!!!! Thanx too for keeping on with the work. Resins can still be a pain, with thick walls. During the enforced covid-19 stay-at-home living, I'm surprised a lot more model building hasn't happened. Bless your heart for the work you do!

Color is great, I like splits, wheels look pretty tasty, stance is all Cali. Roof rack planned? Or window cooler? Keep it coming!

Thanks folks, the idea of a window cooler did cross my mind as did a rack. I might still try to dig up the cooler but don't think I want to complicate the look with a rack. Its a good idea though and would certainly fit the car.
