This thing is just super-slick, Cruz. Wow. Love the color on it, regardless of what it "really" is.

If you are using a digital camera purple cars almost always come out blue. You can get a correct picture if you preset the color balance to the light you have then shoot the car. I tried forever to get a purple candy car to come out purple but once I found the correct color temp it all was good. oh and Beauty on the car

That is one fine looking T-Bird.  Where did you get those hub caps?

[Janne Herajärvi]

Beautiful, i love that color

Nice T-bird! The chassis looks amazing! What did you use to get the highlights on there? That really looks killer!

Thanks guys! For the chassis highlights, I like to use a product available at craft stores called Rub N Buff. It's a pastelike metallic product that comes in a tube and can be lightly spread to create a metal like effect. Go easy with it though, a little goes a long way. You can use your fingers or a cotton swab. Below is a picture of the product and another chassis I used it on.
