Here I see another one I finished but was a quick redo. This is an older build of mine of a 69 Shelby GT500. I wanted to redo this one because it was one of my older builds that did not have any foil on it and was painted an incorrect green. I had a can of Testors spray paint in Grabber Green that started leaking at the seam. That prompted the redo on this one. I tore it all apart and stripped the paint and redid it. I'm real happy with it now!

A++++. The decals came out very nice.  My 2019 goal is be one of a handful to build a 71 Europa this year - the European version of what a 71 Shelby would have looked like perhaps.  Keith Marks has the decals.

Yes. I built one and would like to do a convertible someday. Just don't know if anyone makes the body currently?

Beautiful! Again, you and I are thinking alike. In the early '90s I built a '69 GT500 in Grabber Green with white stripe, using then-new Model Car World paint. I forget whether the interior is black or white--it's been packed away awhile. I need to dig it out and take some pics of it. 

Again, well done and model on! B)

ETA: Just realized, I do have one pic of it on the puter. Looks like black interior. B)
