Okedokey...... I touched up the paint, clearcoated the whole body, polished it out and reapplied the long side trim BMF. Pics follow...

On the right rear of the trunk I attached an AMC sticker that I cut from a photo of the rear of my friend's car. It reads "Dare to be Different". I also glued on a PE trunk keyhole. I also painted the insert between the taillights black as on the 1:1 car, and I painted the gas cap handle red, white and blue as my friend did on the car... I also installed a 3rd brake light as is on the car...

While the clearcoat was drying I reassembled the interior and then painted the headliner brown as on the car, installed the glass with white glue, and installed a rear view mirror, visors I made from sheet plastic and round courtesy lights (pieces from my parts box)

It's looking like we're in the home stretch on this baby now. Once the white glue sets up I can install the interior and then move on to pretty much FINAL ASSEMBLY..........WoooooooHooooooo.... Can't wait... Neither can my friend......!!!

Thank you all for following along on this.
