Minus hood. I think the color is Metallic Black from Duplicolor, however, it has a greenish/blue tint to it in the sun. Top is just a generic silver. The kit didn't come with whitewall tires, and I didn't want to put poverty caps on blackwall tires. These tires and wheels are from the 68 Camaro kit. I printed the Starliner emblems. It also didn't come with the gun sights on the front fenders, so I fashioned them out of a tooth pick. I had to chop off a good chunk of the rear of the chassis. It just stuck out to far, which made the bumper stick out as well.
Maybe I'll get a hood from Santa this year.

Nice build. I'll put in a good word with Mr S, regarding your missing bonnet.

That's a nice lookin' build! Looks great with the cragars. Thanks guys! The Cragar's are from a 68 Camaro kit. Believe it or not, they weren't chrome, but white! I used Rustoleum Bright Silver on them. That paint works well if you let whatever you're painting dry for several days, even though it dries within minutes. I guess the extra curing helps. |

WOW! the Rustoleum looks like kit chrome. Did you decant the paint and airbrushed it or just sprayed it out of the can? |

Really nice work there Deuce! When I first looked at the color without having read the post I thought the lower body was green as well. I bought one of these kits a while back because it looked like foiling all the chrome trim would be a bit of challenge. Needless to say, you nailed it! Finally, thanks for the 411 on the chassis length.
