Here is one that I bought already put together OOB (not painted or anything) and I was able to pop off the chrome pieces to paint the body. The body is painted with white primer with 3 coats of Testor's Pearl Gloss coat. The interior tub is light gray with white seats. The rims, tires and hood scoop are from my parts box and the front axle is from a '40 ford coupe kit. Since this was the flip-nose version, I glued and filled the seams on the fenders only, leaving a small gap between the hood and the body. The "Thumper" decals came from the '69 firebird kit and help cover the seams that I filled on the fenders.
I hope you like the pics and all comments are welcome :D :D
