Nice work! Great paint and detail work.

Just a note on the note on the clear sections of the steering wheel, they were not originally tinted with color. The 1/1 Catalina I owned had a red interior with the same clear wheel that was in the Ventura (and Bonneville and Star Chief.) The spokes and adjacent "hand grip" sections were pearlescent red plastic, and the clear sections, by 1980, when I bought the car, had yellowed with age, but weren't red.

Also the parking light lenses in the front bumper would've been clear, not amber, in 1961.
