I had other plans for this kit when I bought it, but decided to customize it. Few parts, lousy instructions, but cool glass! I wanted the roof line to mimic a 66 and 67 GM midsize roof line. Though you can't really tell, I made a decal of a light blue wood for the bed, but it's kind of funky. Wheels are from the 1965 Grand Slam Grand Prix model. Hood is a GTO hood that I had in my parts stash. It fit better before I painted the car. Gauge faces are from something I ordered on eBay, I guess. I had to cut out the faces exactly to size (real pain that was) and I installed gauge rings. I would have liked to slam it a little more, but I already did it about 6 scale inches, and I thought that was enough. Besides, putting the chassis (one piece, grrr) was hard with the front and rear roll pans already in place. Paint is Duplicolor Light Blue Metallic with a Testor's blue pearl over that. I'm not sure if it's supposed to look sort of yellow from some angles, or the Testor's was just old. I can't remember where the seats are from. They were painted dark blue, with masking tape I painted car color. I tried using decals I made, but they just wouldn't set right. Body decals are home made, printed on clear paper so metallic would come through.
It's an interweb thing.....
