   Is the car painted, or did you polish the plastic?

   Foose Eldorod, finished.

   Finally got this one finished. Box stock except FD100 wheels and tires, and lowered it. Color is Purpliscous and the top is Sand. Windshield frame and top were warped pretty bad, and rear window frame was cracked out of the box. The way they pack the body on the side of the box is odd. Anyway, I did the best I could with it. Enjoy...

   All valid points. The entire windshield frame is bowed. The body is packed against the side of the box. The back window frame was also cracked. I will post an interior shot in a little bit.

   Another '66 Suburban...

   Made this one into a panel. It's not 100% correct but I like the look. The windshield was cracked in half in the bag, so I am waiting on Revell to send me another one. Not sure what kind of powerplant it will have yet. Possibly a BBC out of the Nickey Camaro.

   Foose Eldorod...

   I had the kit wheels and tires installed and it just didn't look right. Tossed them aside and put the Foose FD100 wheels on it with some discs and slammed it down. Now it looks more like an EldoROD...the purists will disagree but oh well. Color is Purplicious with a Sand top and interior.

    Yes it's been out, I have one built, but they aren't at Hobby Lobby yet. Or at least not any around here.

    Well you can't argue with that lol. However, I did find the exact same list used by permission from the author and it is different. The list you posted shows 1964 as gray. The list that was used by a different site has different info. It shows 1964 Truck as orange. No wonder nobody can get a straight answer.

    "#1 The engine should be Gray, specifically, Chevrolet Gray, which is a blueish gray. Battleship Gray is a close match. Orange engines were Passenger car only.  Trucks did not get Orange engines until '67"
    This is not entirely true. I did have a '65 with the 292 six that was the blue gray...the 283 V8's were orange.
